Benefits of Surgery
Gastric Bypass Surgery works in many ways:
It limits the amount of food you can consume at one time.
It enables you to feel satisfied after smaller portions.
It provides you with a “tool” to help achieve the permanent weight loss you desire.
Patients who adopt permanent lifestyle changes, both through eating changes and exercise, are usually able to keep their weight off.
Most importantly, gastric bypass surgery often helps eliminate many of these medical problems:
Chronic Headaches
Diabetes
Heel Pain
High Blood Pressure
High Cholesterol
Joint Pain
Leg Swelling
Leg Ulcers
Menstrual Irregularities
Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome
Pseudotumor Cerebri
