Bariatric surgery, also called weight loss surgery, can deliver life-changing and even life-saving results. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical Center reported at the 29th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) that 67% of gastric bypass patients were in complete remission for diabetes type 2 after 12 months. They added that 96% of those not already on insulin and who did not have lower pancreatic function went into remission after weight-loss surgery within 12 months.
However, bariatric surgery is not a decision to make lightly. Like every procedure, bariatric surgery poses certain risks. And your success is dependent on your readiness, your commitment, and your access to support before, during and after the surgery. That’s why it’s important to compare programs, weigh your options, and choose a team you can trust.
