|  Many gastroenterologist surgeons prefer gastric bypass surgery, since there are frequently fewer
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 diabetes, heart disease and cancer, as well as significantly improve mobility and quality of life for people who are severely overweight. |
