Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide according to the World Health Organization. How does obesity tie in? The American Heart Association indicates that obesity contributes directly to cardiovascular risk factors, such as:
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
- Increased bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Sleep Apnea
- Inflammation
Excess weight often forces your heart to work harder during daily activities. Many of our patients at New York Bariatric Group tell us how difficult it was to walk short distances or climb a flight of stairs before having bariatric surgery.
Down from a size 18 to a size 2, Cyndy shared, “It was really sad that I could not walk across the parking lot, I was so out of breath.” Jamie, who lost 172 pounds, explained what made him decide to have bariatric surgery: “Walking up subway stairs and trying to catch my breath made me realize that this is not how I want to spend the rest of my life overweight.”
LOSE WEIGHT AND IMPROVE HEART FUNCTION
Research proves that losing weight is crucial to keeping your heart healthy. Long-term weight-loss surgery has been found to cut the long-term risk of heart failure by more than half in obese patients without a history of heart disease or stroke. Many patients see huge benefits to their health after bariatric surgery.
Benefits include:
- Reduction of high blood pressure
- Improvement of obstructive sleep apnea
- Conquer joint pain
- Achieve long-term remission for Type 2 diabetes
- And more
Even if you currently have a heart condition, don’t let that stop you from considering long-term weight-loss surgery. New York Bariatric Group patients are thoroughly prepared for surgery and take part in a complete medical evaluation, including a cardiovascular health check.
Bariatric surgery is a safe, effective long-term weight-loss solution that helps thousands of people lose weight and keep it off. Many studies show that patients maintain 50% to 70% loss of excess weight 10+ years after bariatric surgery.
