1. Health Improvement:
Weight loss surgery can significantly improve overall health by reducing the risk of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. This is something that has scientific proof, and multiple national and international associations assess this fact. Weight loss surgery is up to date the best option to treat and lead to remission of these chronic diseases.
2. Effective Weight Loss:
Surgical procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy can lead to substantial and sustained weight loss, which is often difficult to achieve through diet and exercise alone. In these last couple of years, antiobesity medications have gained momentum. However, even if they are becoming more effective than their previous generations, they still need to have the results that weight loss surgery achieves. I consider medications a significant advance in the treatment of obesity and a great addition to the armamentarium, but they are not the best and only solution to obesity; they can be considered a perfect complement to weight loss surgery.
3. Increased Mobility:
Losing excess weight can enhance your ability to move comfortably, engage in physical activities, and enjoy a more active lifestyle. Moreover, patients who suffer from joint problems can get their treatments (such as knee or hip surgery), or their increased activity leads to better joint health; it becomes a virtuous cycle in which the patient loses weight, becomes more active, and such activity leads to more weight loss, or fatty tissue loss and muscle development which leads to better general metabolic and joint health. The article link references adolescent mobility but applies to any age spectrum, considering how beneficial losing weight is for the musculoskeletal system.
4. Quality of Life:
Weight loss surgery can lead to a higher quality of life by relieving the physical and emotional burdens associated with obesity, such as joint pain, depression, and low self-esteem. Generally, the quality of life increases considerably when patient and procedure selection is done correctly. Our patient's main regret is not having had their surgeries years or decades ago.
5. Reduced Medication Dependency:
Many individuals with obesity rely on medication to manage related health issues. Weight loss surgery may reduce or eliminate the need for these medications. As we mentioned, most chronic and obesity-related diseases could enter into remission, leading to the possibility of stopping medicines; it is considered that those diseases enter into remission that is not cured, and eventually, the patient could need its medications again, but it will take several years, even decades if their weight is stable with adequate eating and lifestyle habits.
6. Enhanced Fertility:
For individuals struggling with infertility due to obesity, weight loss surgery can improve fertility and increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. It is well known that weight loss surgery leads to an increased fertility state in males and especially in females; many patients who suffer PCOS after having weight loss surgery are finally able to become pregnant.
7. Longevity:
Obesity is associated with a shorter lifespan. Obesity surgery can extend your life expectancy by reducing the risk of obesity-related diseases. Patients who have weight loss surgery can increase their lifespan from 3 up to 10 years, depending on the study or investigation made!
8. Psychological Benefits:
Improved body image and self-confidence often result from successful weight loss surgery, positively impacting mental health and self-esteem. It is no secret that patients who undergo weight loss surgery experience an incredible change in their "looks," usually leading to increased self-esteem and confidence; in fact, many patients look for this kind of procedure for this purpose; it is essential to highlight that even though it is relevant the primary goal of bariatric surgery is actually organic health but never forgetting that health also includes emotional and psychological well being.
9. Durable Results:
When combined with a commitment to lifestyle changes, weight loss surgery can provide long-term weight maintenance and health benefits. Up to date, the surgical approach to treat obesity is the one with the best and long-lasting results, but as with any other option, it is not a failsafe; weight regain is a reality when patients forget that weight loss surgery is a tool and not do and forget solution to their disease.
10. Cost Savings:
For patients from the USA, opting for weight loss surgery in Mexico can be significantly more cost-effective while maintaining the same high-quality medical care. This can make the procedure accessible to a broader range of individuals. Always remember that very low prices should turn off the alarm if it is too good to be true … You know the saying!
Remember that the decision to undergo weight loss surgery should be made in consultation with a medical professional, considering your individual circumstances and goals. It is not an easy or fast solution; you need to have serious thought, consideration, and proper orientation by your chosen bariatric surgeon; they should have the time and disposition to explain, answer, and guide you along with their team of experts.
