Diseases that have been reported to be completely resolved or cured following obesity surgery are as follows:
Sleep apnea: It is one of the comorbid diseases that recovers earliest after surgery. It disappears almost completely in the first month. Even patients who have to use a CPAP device can regain normal sleep patterns without the device.
Type 2 Diabetes: The surgery method should be chosen according to the severity of diabetes and the need for medication. Depending on the method, the cure rate for diabetes is up to 95%. In the presence of severe Type 2 diabetes, the BMI limit for obesity surgery, which is 35, decreases to BMI 30. Because what is in question here is metabolic surgery.
Hypertension: Obesity-related hypertension disappears at a rate of 70% or more, and there is generally no need for medication from the first month after the surgery.
Heart failure: It has been determined that the risk of heart attack and heart failure decreases significantly after bariatric surgery.
Peripheral edema: Bariatric surgery does not only restrict the stomach volume. It also eliminates hormonal imbalances. Accordingly, a serious resolution of edema is observed in patients with peripheral edema from the first days of surgery.
Dyslipidemia: Especially after malabsorption surgeries, the elevation in blood lipids resolves immediately. Temporary imbalances may only be observed during rapid weight loss.
Esophagitis: Since obesity is a factor that causes reflux, reflux esophagitis also improves significantly after surgery. Although new reflux formation may occur after gastric sleeve surgery, this increase disappears after the first year.
Decrease in the risks of other surgeries: The risk decreases significantly, especially when orthopedic interventions are required.
Osteoarthritis:Obesity is a chronic disease that progresses with inflammation in all tissues. After obesity surgery, inflammatory processes in the joints regress. There are current publications reporting significant improvement in back pain and low back pain.
Thromboembolism: Obesity itself is a condition that increases the risk of embolism and thrombosis in the lower extremities. With the elimination of these risks, e decreases.
Urinary incontinence
In addition, after obesity surgery, there is a significant improvement in the quality of life and fertility increases significantly.
