This new exciting study results will most likely increase interest in bariatric surgical procedures. Leading specialist, Dr. David G. Davtyan, is board certified in surgery and is one of the top weight loss surgeons in the Los Angeles area.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- According to the recent U.S News and World Report article, "40-Year Study Finds Weight-Loss Surgery Extending Life Spans," a brand-new study published in the January edition of the Obesity medical journal, shows that weight-loss surgery could set a person's health and longevity on a different path. In the research, patients were followed for up to 40 years after they had one of four types of weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery), sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (commonly known as Lap-Band), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPDS). Researchers found that these patients had significant reductions in death rates from all causes (16% lower) compared to obese patients who did not have surgery. For heart disease, it was 29% lower, cancer deaths dropped by 43%, and it was down a full 72% for diabetes. The report concluded that having surgery is beneficial overall in extending life, and patients should probably have it sooner rather than later to prevent other diseases. At the Weight Loss Surgery Center of Los Angeles, a prominent weight loss center located in Beverly Hills, Dr. David Davytan performs the surgical procedures listed in the study and more to help his patients win their battle against obesity. Dr. Davtyan and his team treat every patient individually and construct personalized treatment plans that fit their unique needs and goals. The center offers a wide spectrum of cutting-edge medical endoscopic, surgical, and minimally invasive weight loss procedures combined with exceptional compassion, empathy, and expertise to provide excellent outcomes for patients.
"The take-home message of this study indicates that people suffering from obesity can extend their lives and reduce their mortality, particularly from diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease with the help of bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery)," says Dr. David Davtyan.
