What Are the Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery
Right after surgery, most patients lose
weight quickly and continue to lose for 18 to 24 months after the procedure.
Although most patients regain 5 to 10 percent of the weight they lost,
many maintain a long-term weight loss of about 100 pounds.

| Weight
loss surgery improves most obesity-related conditions. For example,
in one study blood sugar levels of 83 percent of obese patients with
diabetes returned to normal after surgery. Nearly all patients whose
blood sugar levels did not return to normal were older or had lived
with diabetes for a long time. |
