Bariatric Surgery / Metabolic Surgery aims to provide weight loss in the obese patient and in the process improve some of the metabolic syndromes that patients may have like type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnoea, joint arthritis, improving fertility, etc.
Commonly referred to as “weight loss surgery”, it has consistently been proven to supersede diet and exercise in terms of helping patients achieve their weight loss goals and improve their health.
The surgery works to help a patient restrict their food intake with creating a new and smaller stomach. It also creates hormonal changes that have direct and indirect effects on reducing appetite as well as aiding patients in improving their individual metabolic syndromes.
Bariatric surgery takes away the typical yo-yo dieting regime that often frustrates patients and allows for real time weight loss in a sustainable way. This journey is further enhanced with healthy eating and exercise.
The patients who come in with the attitude and perception of working with the surgery rather than relying on it can expect to have long standing sustainable weight loss. This includes keeping to the post operative diet and exercise instructions.
Bariatric / Metabolic Surgery is one of the most effective ways in battling this chronic and relapsing DISEASE.
