Weight-loss surgery can help you successfully reach a healthier weight and reduce your risk of developing health complications associated with obesity.  In addition, surgical weight loss may also provide significant health benefits and allow you to:

• Feel better
• Have more energy
• Reduce your cholesterol levels
• Improve or resolve type 2 diabetes
• Decrease your risk of heart disease, stroke, fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis and gastroesophageal reflux
• Improve your breathing and mobility

Your weight is determined by some factors you can control, including environment, metabolism and lifestyle habits. Others you cannot control, such as genetics.

By taking a proactive approach to weight loss, you can lower your long-term disease risk and live a longer, healthier life.
