complications than with other available weight-loss surgeries. Gastric by-pass can provide long-term,
consistent weight loss if accompanied with effective, ongoing behavior changes.
Within the first two years of surgery, many patients lose 50%-60% of excess weight. Many find that they
can successfully keep the weight off long term when they closely follow the dietray and exercise
recommendations of their doctor or nutritionist.
In addition to dramatic weight loss, gastric bypass surgery may improve or resolve conditions commonly
associated with obesity such as Type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood
cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) .
The improvements observed in type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood triglycerides may
significantly decrease the risk of cardiovascular events in people who have undergone gastric bypass
surgery. Gastric bypass surgery may also reduce mortality associated with diabests, heart disease and
cancer, as well as significantly improve mobility and quality of life for people who are severely overweight. |
