There are 35 percent of Americans who have conditions of obestiy which gives them a higher chance of heart disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and other types of cancer which can lead to death. Obesity is now known as a disease, and the cure for this diease is bariatric surgery. There are different types of bariatric surgery procedures you can get which is gastric bypass, gastric banding, and a sleeve gastrectomy. Most obesity patients gets the gastric bypass. With the gastric bypass, doctors would create a pouch by stapling a portion of your stomach together. The will help limit the amount of food you will eat. Obesity patients who have had bariatric surgery within the last couple of years, researchers have found that it helped them with their high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and it helped them lose some weight.
Patients who underwent bariatric surgery it helped them reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome which is a condition that raises the risk for heart disease, the risk for strokes, and the risk for diabetes. Obesity can also give you kidney disease which can be caused from high blood pressure, and diabetes. Researches have found that most patients with obesity had symptoms of slight kidney disease coming along, but after getting bariatric surgery the kidney disease went away. So now they're testing to see if it can help cure more diabetes related conditions as far as bad eyesight and nerve problems caused by diabetes.
More studies of weight loss surgeries have also reported protective benefits against obesity related chronic diseases. Patients who underwent gastric bypass, studies found that it lowered their blood suger levels, and it reduced the amount of medication obesity patients used before they had the gastric bypass surgery done. In Cleveland, a study for five years have found that patients who got bariatric surgery done have had improvements with their high blood pressure, improvements with their cholesterol levels, and improvements with controlling their diabetes.
Experts have said that some other studies have found disease protection have been going on for ten years or longer. Do you think that everyone with obesity or a weight problem get the bariatric procedure done the surgery will give them diease protection? I think it's a no brainer and they should. People with obesity and have matabolic syndrome sould talk to their primare care doctor and discuss the benefits of getting the surgery, and have it sset up to be done. There are risks in going through the procedure, but studies found that a very small percent of the procedures may lead to some serious complications. That small percentage is outweighed by the health risks of having uncontrolled diabetes and heart disease down the line in the future.
Getting the bariatric procedure done will be the greatest risk for obesity patients lives in the long term. It will keep diabetes and heart problems in controll for a long period of time by undergoing this bariatric procedure weight loss surgery. And other studies shows that it can stop or slow down other disease complications caused by diabetes. Researchers tracked patients with diabetes after 10 years of getting the weight loss surgery and have found out that complications caused by diabetes have went away for most of them after getting the surgery to treat their obesity.Studies found that 80 percent of patients who got the surgery done, it helped them to get their blood sugar levels under controll at a of 7 percent HbA1c which is the level that most doctors recommend. Most obesity patients who got the gastric bypass surgery done have been cured from diabetes, or it helped them cut down on their diabetes medication for a long time.
