Surgical Weight Loss

Weight loss surgery offers life-changing benefits, especially for individuals struggling with obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, GERD, and heart disease. Studies have shown that bariatric surgery can lead to the resolution or significant improvement of type 2 diabetes in up to 80% of patients, often within days or weeks post-surgery due to changes in gut hormones and insulin sensitivity. Similarly, hypertension improves or resolves in more than 70% of patients following surgery, reducing the risk of stroke and heart attack. For those suffering from obstructive sleep apnea, weight loss surgery can eliminate the need for CPAP therapy in over 60% of cases. GERD symptoms are also significantly alleviated as excess weight is reduced, decreasing pressure on the esophagus. These improvements collectively reduce the risk of heart disease, one of the leading causes of death, providing a substantial boost to overall cardiovascular health.
