Obesity is a complex health issue that is associated with an individual; factors such as behavior and result in low quality of life. Behaviors can include dietary patterns, physical activity, etc. It is not good for both body and mind. It is a condition in which a person has an unhealthy distribution of fat which raises the risk of several serious health complications.  Extra body fat can add stress on the body, the strain on bones and organs which can cause changes in hormones and metabolism.

Diabetes and heart disease are health problems that can stem from being overweight. Being overweight can also affect a person’s joints, breathing, sleep, mood, and energy levels. So being overweight can affect a person’s entire quality of life. While there are medical therapies that can address most of the cardiac risk factors associated with obesity. Losing weight, therefore, can be the key to living a longer, healthier life. Bariatric surgery can be life-changing surgery for those who want to lose weight. But apart from losing weight, it also has many more health benefits. 

Bariatric weightloss surgery can reduce weight in obese people who have not achieved any success with weight loss attempts. It helps to reduce the stomach’s storage system which limits the food intake and helps you feel full much sooner than normal. The surgery works by altering your digestive system to the number of calories your body can digest. The two ways of bariatric surgery that aim to address obesity are by restricting the volume of food intake and by reducing the body’s ability to absorb calories from digested food.

Gastric sleeve and gastric bypass are the most popular bariatric procedures today. The gastric sleeve primarily uses a restrictive method to reduce calorie consumption, whereas the gastric bypass uses both restrictive and malabsorptive methods. These surgeries are done when diet and exercise haven’t worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight. The benefits of bariatric surgery go beyond just losing weight:

  • Long-term remission for type 2 diabetes, allows patients to remain free of insulin and other related medications.
  • It improves cardiovascular health and prevents the risk of death associated with stroke, hypertension, etc.
  • It relieves people from depression as obese people feel depress because of poor body image and social stigma.
  • It helps in eliminating obstructive sleep apnea.
  • It helps to reduce joint pain as excessive weight puts a lot of stress on joints.
  • Weight loss surgery can also improve fertility during childbearing years.
