Who Should Consider Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
One of the popular weight loss procedures that Dr. Davtyan offers to Claremont patients is laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery, otherwise known as a sleeve gastrectomy. Gastric sleeve surgery may be considered for individuals who are struggling with obesity and have not had success with other weight loss methods such as diet and exercise.
Generally, individuals who have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea may be candidates for gastric sleeve surgery.
At The Weight Loss Surgery Center of Los Angeles, we recognize that every patient is unique and the decision to undergo sleeve gastrectomy surgery should be made in consultation with Dr. Davtyan, a qualified weight loss surgeon who can evaluate your health status, medical history, and weight loss goals to determine if it is an appropriate option.
In addition to meeting the BMI criteria, individuals considering gastric sleeve surgery should be committed to making lifestyle changes after the procedure to support long-term weight loss and improve their overall health. This may include changes to their diet, exercise routine, and other habits.
The Health Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery is not just about gaining a slimmer figure, although the aesthetic benefits are a driving factor for many patients. However, procedures like gastric sleeve surgery can be life-changing for your health as well, adding years to life in many cases.
Weight loss surgery can have numerous health benefits for individuals who are struggling with obesity and related health conditions. Here are some of the potential health benefits of weight loss surgery:
- Weight loss: The primary benefit of weight loss surgery is, of course, weight loss. By restricting the amount of food that can be consumed or reducing the absorption of nutrients, weight loss surgery can help individuals achieve and maintain a healthier weight.
- Improved metabolic health: Weight loss surgery can improve metabolic health by reducing insulin resistance, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
- Improved cardiovascular health: Weight loss surgery can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke by improving cardiovascular health factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar control.
- Improved respiratory function: Weight loss surgery can improve respiratory function and reduce the symptoms of sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions.
- Improved quality of life: Weight loss surgery can improve self-esteem, reduce depression and anxiety, and improve quality of life by enabling individuals to participate in physical activities and social events that were previously difficult due to excess weight.
It is important to note that weight loss surgery is not a quick fix or a cure for obesity. Long-term success requires commitment to lifestyle changes such as healthy eating habits and regular exercise.
