Obesity is a chronic and progressive disease that can affect multiple organs in the body. People with clinically severe obesity are at medical risk for disability or premature death. At the top of the list for obesity-related co-morbidities are adult onset diabetes and high blood pressure.

Additional conditions that are commonly caused or exacerbated by obesity include, but are not limited to:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea
  • Artherosclerosis
  • Reflux
  • High Cholesterol
  • Degenerations of knees and hips
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Menstrual irregularities

Obesity is difficult to treat. Surgery promotes weight loss by restricting food intake and interrupting the digestive process. Surgery is an option for clinically severe obese patients who have been unsuccessful with other weight loss treatments.
For some, no amount of dieting, exercise or lifestyle modification can help significantly impact severe obesity.

Surgery is an option. You have chosen weight loss surgery as your option and opportunity for improving your health and wellness. Take control!
