Weight loss surgery is a tool that can help you make changes to your lifestyle and have better control over your overall health. However, this alone is usually not sufficient for optimal long-term results. For better chances of success, you need to be well prepared. First, you must have attempted to lose weight, consulted a nutritionist and changed certain lifestyle habits. This requires a well-developed capacity to adapt. A psychological consultation may sometimes be necessary before and after surgery to ensure success. It’s a new beginning for you.

Like diabetes and hypertension, obesity is a chronic health problem. Characterized by an abnormal or excessive accumulation of fat, obesity is the leading cause of several diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer, as well as several other important health problems.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), bariatric surgery is considered the best way to lose weight in the long term for people with severe obesity. However, it should not be your first choice.
