SURGERY BENEFITS
IMPROVEMENT OR
HEALING OF DISEASES
ASSOCIATED WITH
OBESITY
Morbid obesity could
be the cause of most
of the previously
mentioned diseases.
Morbid
obesity treatment,
results in a major
improvement and in
some cases the
complete healing of
those diseases.
Around
80
to 90% of the
patients who have
been taking
medication to
control their
problems previous to
surgery, experience
the satisfaction of
lowering the dose
and in some cases
even stop taking it.
In
the cases of
diabetes associated
with morbid obesity
the result is
dramatic. Reaching
a minimum percentage
of weight loss,
reduces or
eliminates the
necessity to take
medications or to
apply insulin, since
the blood glucose
level is controlled
again by the normal
body mechanisms.
An additional
benefit as a result
of the absence of
obesity, is the
lowering of the
cholesterol levels,
which in turn
significantly
reduces the heart
disease risk.
In
general, improvement
is obtained in 100%
of the diseases
associated with
obesity and complete
healing is obtained
in approximately 80%
of them.
