SURGERY FOR OBESITY

A successful surgery for obesity can make you lose 50% or more of body weight and maintain that level for at least five years.

Clinical studies show that after surgery for obesity most patients lose weight quickly and continues to do so until 18 to 24 months after surgery for obesity. Patients can lose 30 to 50% of weight in the first six months and 77% as early as 12 months. Another study showed that it is possible to maintain the gradual loss of weight during the next 10 to 14 years.

Health problems related to obesity as back pain, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, diabetes and depression are mitigated or resolved after surgery for obesity. Many patients with diabetes have demonstrated excellent resolution of their diabetic condition.

TYPES OF OBESITY SURGERY

The surgery for obesity is available in three options, the first is the gastric bypass, which reduces absorption of calories and disposal of the stomach, the second and third options are less invasive, but only prevents you eat too much. The "gastric band" and "gastric balloon" reduce the storage and emptying capacity of the stomach.
