Home > Your Health > Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery

Obesity is a leading contributor to many serious health conditions. When a patient is at risk for one or more obesity-related conditions or co-morbidities – such as Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease and others – he or she is considered to be morbidly obese. Morbid obesity is a serious, life-threatening chronic disease – meaning that its symptoms build slowly over time – and must be treated as such.

Do you have any of these conditions or co-morbidities?

  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Heart Disease
  • Dysilpidemia/High Cholesterol
  • Osteoarthritis of Weight-Bearing Joints
  • Depression
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Respiratory Problems
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
  • Heartburn
  • Infertility
  • Urinary Stress Incontinenc
  • Menstrual Irregularities

One of the main benefits of weight loss surgery is that many of these conditions can be significantly improved and sometimes eliminated after surgery. In fact, most patients find that they can greatly reduce the number of medications they need. They have more energy. They become more active. And they just feel healthier overall.

Weight loss surgery alone isn’t a “magic cure” however. To help our patients attain the highest levels of success, we use a comprehensive program that includes surgical intervention, coupled with nutritional counseling, psychological support and exercise.
