DISEASES

2. Confronted with a rising incidence of increasingly overweight and frankly obese individuals, many interventions
have continued to be sought for by the scientific community to address this. Conventional approaches have relied
on lifestyle modifications such as dieting, exercise regimens and in some cases, the use of drugs to achieve
weight loss, but the results thus far has not been encouraging. The most disciplined of dieters who lose weight all
too often regain it in no distant time.

3. In the face of phenomenal success results recorded with Bariatric surgery, how safe is it and is it worth the risk?
•Well, there are no surgical procedures that are 100% risk-free. Each comes with a degree of risk. Obesity surgery
techniques makes use of minimally invasive procedures and in the hands of a skilled and properly trained
surgeon, complications are usually minimal.

4. •Complications range from minor to mild, however these are experienced by only 1 in 10 patients.
•In addition to weight loss, individuals with type 2 diabetes Mellitus have been observed to have better blood sugar
control and many have gone on to achieve remission in the long term.
•Studies have shown that obesity surgery is associated with fewer cardiovascular events such as stroke and
myocardial infarction.

5. •Achievement of Long term remission in type 2 diabetes Mellitus patients. Individuals with type 2 diabetes Mellitus
after undergoing obesity surgery have discovered that they have better glucose regulation and long term
remission in a significant number of patients.
•Improvement in cardiovascular health: obesity surgery helps decrease long term risk of stroke, heart disease and
cardiac arrests.
•Provides relief in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: achievement of weight loss helps individuals with sleep
apnea sleep with decreased dependence on CPAP machine at bedtime.

6. •Relief of joint pain: obesity and overweight puts a lot of stress and strain on the joints. Obesity surgery helps
decrease thus stress via weight loss hence allowing previously obese individuals enjoy greater joint mobility.
•Helps relief of depression: depression comes with a poor body image in individuals with obesity. Shedding weight
via obesity surgery helps decrease depression.
Obesity surgery is now the most effective treatment option available for weight loss. It comes with fewer side
effects and complications and in addition to weight loss, has other long term benefits which improve the overall
health of the individual.
