What Happens When You Lose Weight?


The obvious answer is…you get thinner, right? And that would be true. When you lose the weight you do get thinner, we can’t argue with that. That’s just common sense.

 

But there’s so much more!

 

Did you know losing the weight also brings about so many health benefits? Oh, yes. And those health benefits can be life changing.

 

Imagine living your life where you don’t have to worry about asthma, GERD, sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, depression, hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, migraines or even gout. Sounds wonderful doesn’t it? Well it can be. Losing weight brings the possibly of living without those things closer to reality.

 

But don’t take my word for it, here are some statistics…

Migraines…57% resolved.

Depression…55% resolved.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea…74-98% resolved.

Asthma… 82% improved or resolved.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease…90% improved steatosis, 37% resolution of inflammation

Cardiovascular Disease…82% risk reduction

Hypertension…52-92% resolved

GERD…72-98% resolved

Metabolic Syndrome…80% resolved

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus…83% resolved

Stress Urinary Incontinence… 44-88% resolved

Degenerative Joint Disease…41-76% resolved

Venous Stasis Disease…95% resolved

Gout…77% resolved

Quality of Life…improved in 95% of patients

Mortality…85% reduction in 5-year mortality

 

“Resolved” means that those symptoms are no longer an issue in that percentage of patients.

 

But how much weight must you lose before you’ll notice a difference?

 

Well, everyone is unique and results vary.

 

On average those experiencing just a 10% weight loss ratio will start to notice changes in how they feel. And the more weight lost, the more improvements to your health overall.

 

That’s where bariatric surgery (also known as weight loss surgery) comes in.

 

For those who have tried all the diets, have tried the crazy exercise programs and have faced frustration after frustration without seeing any tangible weight loss results…the gastric sleeve is that tool that will help you change your life.

 

I know, I know…coming from a bariatric weight loss doctor you might expect me to say stuff like that just so you become my patient. Well, my goal is to educate first so you make the right decisions. So, whether you use my services or that of another surgeon you have the facts and understand how the surgery works and how it can benefit you.

 

Now, I will say this…

 

Out of the 11,000 patients I’ve helped, I can’t think of a single one who just wanted to be thinner. Every single one wanted to either live longer, improve their quality of life, sleep better at night or rid themselves of GERD, hypertension, migraines or other weight related health issues.
