Thousands of men and women have regained their health and lives after having Gastric Sleeve Surgery. In fact, more than 250,000 Gastric Sleeve procedures are performed each year, according to the American Society for Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery. While Gastric Sleeve Surgery is not a quick fix, it is an effective treatment for obesity and a proven tool to jump start your weight loss and provide you the leverage you need to build lifelong healthy habits.
Proven safe and effective, Gastric Sleeve Surgery can help individuals who are typically 100 pounds or more overweight eliminate or reduce the damaging health effects of conditions related to obesity, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and infertility.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery can help patients lose up to 80% of their excess weight in the first two years following the procedure. Surgery helps to restore physical health, and can also help renew ones confidence in how they look.
According to the Cetners for Disease Control (CDC), more than 70% of adult Americans are overweight or obese. In addition, informal surveys suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the problem, as many people are eating more and exercising less. Moreover, as the CDC notes, adults with excess weight are at greater risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
Maintaining a healthy weight is critical to your overall health. Being overweight can contribute to other serious health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some types of cancer. It can also negatively impact your body image and self-esteem.
While diet and exercise are important components of any weight loss plan, in many cases the most effective treatment to help jump start your weight loss is Gastric Sleeve Surgery.
