Obesity has quickly become a major global health concern as a result of its Ob doubling prevalence, especially among adults. At the same time, it also increases an individual susceptibility to disease which in turn affects the individual’s mortality. Most of the diseases like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer that impact a person’s life expectancy are linked to being obese or overweight. These diseases are the leading causes of death all around the world.
ALO Bariatrics performs bariatric surgery in Tijuana, Mexico to help an individual who is obese lose weight. It has proven to be effective especially for those who have struggled to lose weight through other weight loss methods like dieting. Bariatric surgeries such as gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and duodenal switch result in substantial and sustainable weight loss as well as metabolic changes.
Bariatric surgery success rate
Long-term data has shown that men and women who underwent bariatric surgery have half the death rate when compared to those who lost weight using other means. Some bariatric procedures limit how much you can eat while others impact how your body absorbs nutrients, all of which lead to significant weight loss. The surgery is normally done when one has a BMI of 40 or higher or those with a lower BMI of 35-39 and have serious health-related complications such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, etc.
Even though the total amount of weight lost is dependent on the type of surgery done, it’s possible to love half or even more of your excess weight within the first two years. You will therefore be able to improve or resolve conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and joint pain among others. At the same time, your ability to perform your day-to-day activities will be improved which could help improve your quality of life.
It’s not possible to tell exactly how many years one gains after bariatric surgery in Mexico. We can be sure that life expectancy after gastric sleeve or gastric sleeve is boosted. The low mortality rates are a result of the reduction in the number of people who die as a result of cardiovascular disease. The most common cardiovascular diseases that are linked to obesity are heart failure, myocardial infarction, and sudden death among others.
Despite the risks associated with the surgery, the available data shows that it has a positive impact on one’s life expectancy. The benefits far outweigh the risks.
