About Bariatric Surgery and Diabetes
A Life-Transforming Decision
Bariatric surgery isn’t just about losing weight. It’s about transforming your life. Obesity can lead to many health concerns, such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and heart disease. If you meet the qualifications and decide to have bariatric surgery to address obesity and diabetes, you stand to enhance everything that may matter to you: your health, your relationships, your self-esteem, your work…your overall outlook on life.
But it’s important to first understand what bariatric surgery is not. It is not cosmetic surgery. It is not a quick fix. It is not a guarantee of long-term weight loss.
Instead, bariatric surgery is an opportunity. It’s an advantage in the struggle against obesity. Healthy eating habits are easier to stick to, which may have seemed too difficult in the past.
If you can make the commitment to healthier living, the benefits of bariatric surgery can be tremendous—from increased energy to the resolution of type 2 diabetes to a longer life.
