Exercise and diet may not always be feasible options for certain individuals due to their health conditions and limitations in physical activity. In such cases, bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) and other non-surgical weight loss methods remain viable alternatives, potentially offering life-altering benefits for those seeking to shed excess weight.
The advantages of these procedures extend beyond mere cosmetic changes. While many people primarily observe the physical transformation, there are much deeper health benefits. Opting for specialised weight loss interventions can significantly reduce the risk of mortality and various diseases, including specific cancers, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular issues, stroke, gastrointestinal problems, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis, among others. Recognising these profound benefits, medical experts, particularly surgeons specializing in this field, advocate for weight loss through these means.
