Can Bariatric Surgery Be A Start To Better Health?


Obesity impacts the body and overall health of an individual. Obese people are often at risk of developing heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, diabetes, and more.

While following a diet and exercising is vital, losing weight through these means can be challenging for some. Bariatric surgery has proven effective as it can have a significant impact on weight loss and improve various medical conditions linked to obesity.

People can achieve good health through bariatric surgery options such as loop duodenal switch (SADI), gastric bypass, and gastric sleeve.

Bariatric surgery is tailored to each patient and requires everyone to follow all guidelines before and after the surgical procedure to obtain and sustain the outcomes. This is a permanent procedure for most, although a small percentage of patients may need revisional surgery over time.

Depending on the bariatric procedure performed, the surgeons may take a section of the stomach out or render a section of the stomach inaccessible. With just a little room to store food, patients feel fuller after consuming small portions of food.

Right after bariatric surgery, patients will be on a liquid diet. These first three weeks are crucial for minimizing complications and maximizing your recovery. This helps your body to adjust and start the journey to a healthy lifestyle. Slowly solids are introduced and patients follow diet recommendations thereafter.

In addition to helping you lose weight, bariatric surgery can reduce, resolve and prevent many obesity-related conditions like high cholesterol, diabetes, liver disease, and hypertension, among others. Your quality of life will significantly improve, allowing you to start living an active, healthy life. Long-term weight loss and calorie restriction will continue to promote good health. 

Bariatric surgery offers a pathway to health for everyone struggling with obesity. It can help transform the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social aspects of your life.

Bariatric Surgery May Reverse Premature Aging Effects

It’s well known that bariatric surgery can help people shed a tremendous amount of weight and reshape their bodies in the process. Researchers are finding this type of medical procedure may also be a fountain of youth of sorts, as well. Recent studies have shed light on changes at the molecular level that occur following surgery that may actually reverse premature aging in cells. To arrive at those findings, researchers looked at “telomeres.” These are structures that are found at the ends of every chromosome in the body. Their purpose is to protect DNA. As cells divide, a portion of the telomere’s length is lost. Once enough length is lost, cells stop dividing, which is a mark of aging. A number of lifestyle habits can increase the rate at which telomeres are lost, including smoking, poor diet and obesity. The recent study found that people who undergo bariatric surgery have noticeable changes in their telomeres. After surgery, the speed at which telomeres shorten is markedly re
