Am I a Candidate for Weight Loss Surgery |
At Saint Elizabeth we want each patient to understand that weight loss surgery will provide you with effective tools for achieving significant weight loss. However, each patient must understand that major dietary and lifestyle changes are also necessary in order to achieve long-term success. Medically complicated obesity may result in health problems such as:
- Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Joint problems
- Elevated lipids and cholesterol
- Sleep apnea
- Heart and vascular disease
- Gallbladder or reflux disease
- Psychosocial problems
