Impact on Your Health
If you need to lose 100 pounds or more and keep it off, your best option is weight-loss surgery. Typically, you’ll lost 60 to 80% of your excess weight within 12 to 18 months after surgery. After this weight loss you’ll discover lifestyle and emotional changes that will make your weight loss easier to maintain.
This life-altering surgery also helps reduce serious health risks associated with obesity, such as high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. If you are considering the procedure, the hospital’s bariatric surgery team can help you explore all of your options and make the choice that is best for you.
