Weight loss surgery has come a long way and has very much matured over the last 1-2 decades. The methods and results of bariatric surgery have become well established with worldwide acceptance of its effectiveness in helping patients lose weight.
When compared to diet/ exercise and medications, weight loss surgery has been shown to be significantly more effective and durable in inducing and sustaining weight loss. In addition to weight loss, bariatric surgery has been shown to radically help with reducing or eliminating weight related health conditions that will aid in establishing a positive impact on life.
Patients with higher initial BMIs tend to lose more total weight. Patients with lower initial BMIs will lose a greater percentage of their excess weight and will more likely come closer to their ideal body weight.
