An article published June 8 on KFYRTV details how the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has incorporated new guidelines making weight loss surgery a treatment option for those suffering with type 2 diabetes. The article goes on to state that, although most health insurance companies don’t cover patients whose BMI (body mass index) falls below a certain number, the ADA established these new guidelines in order to permit more patients to undergo bariatric surgery through their health insurance. The professionals at Dr. Feiz & Associates note that patients with type 2 diabetes have proven to be more likely to manage their condition and improve their overall health by losing weight through bariatric surgery. The weight loss surgery center also notes that weight loss surgery effectively targets many various health issues that go hand-in-hand with obesity, including:
Heart Disease - Bariatric surgery patients often suffer from high blood pressure (hypertension), a dangerous asymptomatic condition that significantly raises a patient’s chances of heart attacks and strokes. Once a patient loses weight through bariatric surgery, however, the heart is able to work with less effort, causing a patient’s cardiovascular health to greatly improve and greatly reducing the threat to health posed by hypertension.
Arthritis/Joint Pain - Individuals who are severely obese are prone to joint pain and arthritis. Forcing the body to carry the extra weight strains the bones and joints, worsening joint pain. Dr. Feiz & Associates note that losing weight through bariatric surgery is the best way to promote joint relief as it greatly reduces the amount of strain on the patient’s body. Improving the mobility of a patient also improves their overall health and quality of life. The weight loss clinic notes that patients who reduce their arthritis and joint issues through weight loss following a bariatric surgery are more likely to participate in enjoyable athletic and social activities they might otherwise have avoided.
Respiratory Problems- A patient’s respiratory system is also affected by obesity. Excess fat deposits are formed along a severely obese patient’s tongue and neck that often keep air from passing into their lungs. This obstruction not only leads to breathing difficulties during waking hours, but also leads to conditions such as sleep apnea, an affliction that raises the risk of heart attacks and strokes, while also causing fatigue and other quality of life problems. Dr. Feiz & Associates note that weight loss surgery effectively helps the patient lose excess weight and fat deposits, thus greatly improving his or her ability to breathe properly while also eliminating these respiratory conditions.
Dr. Feiz & Associates concludes by saying that they understand that weight loss isn’t the only goal for their patients, but improved health conditions and quality of life usually are too.
