Bariatric Surgery Health Transformation

Health Transformation

One of the most rewarding aspects of bariatric surgery is the transformation of health and increase in quality of life that many patients experience.

Studies have shown that gastric bypass patients:

-	Lost an average of 61.6% of excess weight⁴
-	Experienced significant health improvement with resolution or improvement of 96% of co-morbidities, specifically type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, depression, and back pain⁵
-	Bariatric surgery patients had five year risk of death reduced by 89% compared to people who did not have the bariatric surgery⁶

Studies also have shown that gastric bypass patients:

-	Had dramatically lower hospitalization rates for cancer, heart conditions, and high blood pressure than a control group of people who did not have gastric bypass surgery and were still living with morbid obesity⁶
-	Determined changes in the monthly prescription medication costs in morbidly obese patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass; examinded the data on 77 morbidly obese patients receiving medications prescribed for GERD, DM, HTN and HLP. The mean monthly medication cost decreased by 72% after surgery³³
