Is Weight Loss Surgery Right for You?

The thought of weight loss surgery can be overwhelming, but the results can be life changing. After surgery, patients have more energy, improved mobility and a better quality of life. Weight loss surgery can also reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease, obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes, depression and many other conditions.

If you’re interested in weight loss surgery and its many health benefits, the ideal candidate should:

  • Be over 18
  • Understand the risks and benefits of the surgery and be motivated to live a healthier lifestyle
  • Provide evidence of unsuccessful attempts at losing weight
  • Have a BMI of 35 to 40 with comorbidities (hypertension, sleep apnea, hyperlipidemia or Type 2 diabetes) or a BMI of 40 and above with no associated medical problems

Sleeve Gastrectomy at MRHC

During sleeve gastrectomy, also known as the gastric sleeve, a surgeon uses minimally invasive techniques to staple off and remove about 80% of the original stomach. The smaller, sleeve-like stomach that is left behind restricts the number of calories you can consume. The surgery also decreases the production of the “hunger hormone,” which can help decrease hunger.

What Surgery Will Achieve
Successful weight loss helps resolve many health-related issues, such as high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea, and it could result in a decreased need for certain medications. About 90% of people who have weight loss surgery lose and keep off half of their extra body weight.
