Bariatric Surgery: The Gold Standard for Long-Term Weight Loss

In the relentless pursuit of effective and sustainable weight loss, people often find themselves navigating a myriad of options, from conventional methods like diet and exercise to the more contemporary realms of weight-loss drugs and injectables. While weight-loss drugs and injectables can be an effective short-term strategy, the long-term success and safety are still being researched and are unknown. However, when faced with the complexities of severe obesity and its associated health risks, the spotlight turns to bariatric surgery as a transformative solution. Among the distinguished providers in this field, New York Bariatric Group emerges as a beacon of excellence. 

The Epidemic of Obesity

Obesity has reached alarming proportions globally. According to the World Obesity Atlas 2023 report, 38% of the global population is currently either overweight or obese. Obesity can lead to a myriad of health complications such as diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea. Traditional methods of weight loss often fall short when dealing with severe obesity, necessitating a more comprehensive and long-lasting approach.

Bariatric Surgery is the Answer

Bariatric surgery, including procedures like gastric bypass and endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, is widely recognized as the gold standard for weight loss. These surgeries work by altering the digestive system, promoting weight loss and offering numerous health benefits.

• Significant and Sustainable Weight Loss: Studies consistently show that individuals undergoing bariatric surgery experience significant and sustained weight loss. Patients may lose as much as 77% of excess weight as early as 12 months after surgery.
• Improvement in Obesity-Related Health Conditions: Bariatric surgery has been proven to alleviate or even resolve obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, joint pain, and sleep apnea. 
• Swift Recovery: Many bariatric surgery procedures can be done in an Ambulatory Surgery Center or ASC, which means you don’t need to have your surgery in a hospital. Many patients go home the same day and are back to work or normal activities within a few days. 
• Enhanced Quality of Life: Patients often report increased energy levels, improved mobility, and a renewed sense of confidence and self-esteem.

Patients rave about their experience with NYBG. Many patients appreciate how quickly they can return to their lives after surgery.  

One happy NYBG patient, Colleen, lost 127 pounds, and was at the gym just days after her surgery, saying, “After having my weight-loss surgery and realizing how simple the process actually was, the surgery was an hour long and I was up and walking an hour after my surgery and back at the gym two days after.”

According to another previous patient, Thomas, who lost 177 pounds, “My surgery experience was kind of awesome. I went into pre-op. They got me ready. I went into the operating room. An hour later, I woke up in recovery and I went upstairs to my room. Later that day I'm up and walking around.”
