| Core Tip |
The method of bariatric surgery is associated with dramatic weight loss, overall health improvement and, in many cases curing obesity-related comorbidities (i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma and other breathing disorders, arthritis, cholesterol problems, gastroesophageal reflux disease, fatty liver, urinary stress incontinence, brain pseudotumor, and more). Furthermore, in cases with a high degree of obesity, undergoing this type of surgical intervention also decreases overall mortality. Simultaneously, physical quality of life improved faster than mental quality of life. |
