Weighing The Real Costs: The Impacts Of Avoiding Weight Loss Surgery

Facing the challenges of severe obesity and contemplating bariatric surgery? Consider the immediate and long-term health impacts, as well as the benefits of weight loss procedures. How will reduced mobility, joint pain, and sleep disturbances like sleep apnea impact your daily life now? Are you prepared for the heightened risk of conditions like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and heart diseases? As the years pass, are you ready for even graver health challenges, from strokes to certain cancers? Beyond the physical, how will the ongoing emotional strain of chronic depression or low self-esteem shape your mental well-being? And what about the economic toll from continuous medical treatments and potential job limitations?

Weight loss surgery may not be the only solution, but it presents an opportunity to sidestep numerous challenges. Perhaps it's time to reassess your choices? Embrace a Healthier You: Realize the transformative potential of bariatric procedures and their vital role in your path to lasting weight management and enhanced life quality.

Know Your BMI!

Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a key indicator of your weight status and potential health risks:

  • Normal (BMI 18 - 24.9): Indicates a healthy weight.

  • Overweight (BMI 25 - 29.9): Suggests an increased risk of health issues.

  • Obesity Class I (BMI 30 - 34.9): Mild obesity; potential candidate for weight loss surgery.

  • Severe Obesity when BMI > 35 with higher health risks; likely a candidate for weight loss surgery.

BMI is a useful tool for initial health assessment but should be coupled with professional medical advice for a comprehensive understanding.

Our Patients No Longer Struggle With Lack Of Self-Esteem

Better Health & Longer Life: Weight loss surgery can help you beat many health problems linked to obesity, like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

  1. Live Life to the Fullest: After surgery, many feel like they've got a new lease on life. You'll likely feel better both mentally and physically, letting you enjoy everyday moments, from playing with kids to simply taking a walk, without any pain or discomfort.

  3. Stronger Social Bonds: Shedding weight can help deepen your relationships with loved ones and friends. As you feel better about yourself, you'll likely enjoy socializing more, and you might even notice people treat you with newfound respect.

  4. Rediscover Confidence: Weight loss surgery, including gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, not only addresses obesity but also enhances mental well-being, leading to a more positive self-image and boosted self-esteem
