Want To Be Biggest Loser: Bariatric Surgery For Obesity
According to the ASMBS, recent research suggests that the higher mortality risk of the morbidly obese reverts to normal following weight loss surgery. The procedure, which often gives morbidly obese patients their only hope for losing weight and leading a normal life, has been an effective treatment for metabolic disease and conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and obstructive sleep apnea.
Having a support system around you during your weight loss journey is critical to your long-term success. Experts are available to meet with you individually to help you with your surgery and to successfully make healthier lifestyle habits. Surgery helps you change a lot of aspects of your life. Choosing to participate in counseling or, at a minimum, support groups will help you learn ways to transition into these changes and answer any questions or concerns you might have.
Support groups allow you to:
- meet other people who had shared your journey
- learn from each other’s successes
- find people who understand just what you are experiencing
