Why Patients opt for Weight Loss Surgery as a solution for Health Issues
Only proven solution for permanent type 2 diabetes remission
For people with diabetes, bariatric surgery isn’t just about weight loss. It is now seen as an actual treatment for type 2 diabetes, and the weight loss becomes a bonus. It helps your body to produce and use insulin more efficiently and effectively. Research has shown people’s blood sugar levels dropping to below the diabetes range soon after surgery, even before they’ve lost weight. Because of this, most people who have bariatric surgery have their type 2 diabetes medications stopped soon afterwards.

Will I need to take long term medication after surgery?
It's common for patients who undergo weight loss surgery to wonder about their medication needs post-surgery. While each individual's medical journey is unique, here's a general overview to help address this concern:
In many cases, weight loss surgery can lead to significant improvements in various health conditions associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. As a result, some patients may find that they require fewer medications or even none at all after surgery.
However, it's essential to understand that medication management post-surgery varies from person to person. Some individuals may still need to take medications for pre-existing conditions, while others may need medications temporarily as their body adjusts to the changes following surgery. Additionally, certain vitamins and supplements may be recommended to prevent nutritional deficiencies and support overall health. -
What are the criteria for weight loss surgery?
The criteria for weight loss surgery typically involve several factors that help determine if a patient is a suitable candidate. While specific requirements may vary depending on the type of procedure, common criteria often include:- Having a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity)
- Previous attempts at weight loss without significant long-term success.
- A commitment to lifestyle changes
- Age - most surgeons prefer patients to be between the ages of 18 and 65, although exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis.
