BARIATRIC SURGERY

 WEIGHTLOSS SURGERY

 HEALTH GAINS

While bariatric, or surgical weight loss, procedures can help morbidly obese people lose significant weight, the potential health gains from the surgery are even more impressive. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), recent studies have shown that, in some patients, bariatric surgery can completely reverse type 2 diabetes and can reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Bariatric surgeon Dr. Mark Colquitt, who practices at the Blount Memorial Weight Management Center where 84 percent of surgical patients are female, says that resolving or improving obesity-related health conditions is the primary goal of bariatric surgery. “The reason we do this surgery is to treat co-morbidities, which are medical conditions that exist in addition to obesity and often are a result of being overweight. A lot of people, including some physicians, look at weight loss surgery as a cosmetic procedure, but that is not true. Bariatric surgery is a tool we can use to help save lives and improve the quality of those lives

  1. From someone who’s been hugely overweight and not only survived it but overcome it to become fit and healthy I was very interested to see what you had to say in your post OBESITY NEWS » Uncategorized obesity » BARIATRIC SURGERY. We really need to address the issues of center obesity before it’s too late.

  2. Whilst researching center obesity, I came across a number of websites that deal with this subject. It was interesting to read their views on center obesity but they weren’t all quite as emotive as OBESITY NEWS » Uncategorized obesity » BARIATRIC SURGERY.

  3. I might give this a try
