Winning The Obesity Battle With Weight Loss Surgery
Obesity is an epidemic. It may lead to other illnesses like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, limited or non-existent physical activity, and other health issues. The state of obesity’s annual report says that adult obesity is over 30 percent nationwide while nearly 5 percent of high school students are obese.
Bariatric surgery is a viable weight-loss option that can help treat obesity. It can be life-changing for those who want to lose weight and can produce sustainable weight loss in obese people who have not achieved long-term success with other weight loss attempts.
When Does a Bariatric Surgeon Recommend Surgery?
Is There a Minimum Weight Required to be Considered for Bariatric Surgery?
Is There An Average Age that People Have Bariatric Surgery?
The average age of the patient ranges between minimum age of 17 to 68 years old. However, there is no specific age requirement to have bariatric surgery. At Perth Surgical & Bariatrics, we see adolescents and have older patients as well.

How Important is It to Change One’s Lifestyle after the Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is one of the best tools that can help obese people achieve drastic weight loss. However, reducing 60 percent to 70 percent of one’s stomach is just a part of it in order to sustain long-term results. After surgery, it is important to align your mind and your heart with changing your eating habits and your lifestyle. Else, all efforts will be unsuccessful. Unless a lifestyle change is made long-term, bariatric surgery will be a temporary fix.
The patients must follow the advice of their doctors and develop healthy habits for life. They need to follow the instructions of the doctor before and after the surgery to make sure the weight-loss journey is successful.
