LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For someone
suffering with severe obesity, doing everything to shed pounds and
work toward a healthy weight isn't just a good idea, it's essential
for their health. Severe obesity leads to a range of potentially
debilitating issues; many of them quite serious such as heart
failure, stroke, and a much higher risk of developing diabetes,
high blood pressure, and even cancer. The medical community's
consensus is that bariatric surgery is the best tool to fight
severe obesity because it offers the most consistent and effective
results of any weight loss method. Though decreasing the risk of
serious illness and dramatically improving one's likely lifespan is
reason enough for someone with severe obesity to seek weight loss
surgery, there are many lessor known benefits to a bariatric
procedure performed by a highly trained expert like Dr.
Michael Feiz.
- Improved Memory A 2013 Swiss study indicated that obese
individuals had poorer memory recall than peers of a normal
weight. Participants who lost a considerable amount of weight
showed stronger memory.
- Skyrocketing Energy: People who lose weight consistently
report having much more energy on a daily basis. The
explanation is simple: your body has to work harder if it's
carrying around a lot of extra pounds. Decreasing weight also
improves oxygen efficiency, which means not being out of breath so
easily.
- More Enjoyable Work-Out Sessions: Exercising will be
easier. In addition to increased energy, working out will be less
physically demanding and painful. Obese individuals normally
experience considerable joint pain and body aching due to the
stress the extra weight places on the body. Being slimmer and
lighter greater reduces these issues for a better experience.
- Lower Medical Bills: Because obesity has many
associated health conditions, the average obese person spends much
more on health care than someone of a normal weight. In 2009,
Health Affairs reported the rate is 42% higher. For severely obese
individuals, it's a staggering 90% increase over the norm. Much of
this is due to the need for prescription medicine.
Fortunately, there's a silver lining, many health conditions can
improve dramatically or even be remedied by weight loss. Type 2
diabetes, for examples, has been shown to go into remission in many
cases.
- Increased ability to conceive children: A study in the
journal, Fertility and Sterility, concluded that obese women
are much more likely to face infertility and polycystic ovary
syndrome. In addition, obesity has a negative impact on maintaining
a healthy pregnancy and is also linked to heath concerns impacting
the baby.
