About the Surgery

Absolutely. Extensive scientific studies involving hundreds of thousands of patients have demonstrated that bariatric surgery can reduce the risk of death from all causes by up to 40%.

Yes, bariatric surgery is very safe, especially when performed by a certified bariatric surgeon. Although it was once considered high risk and even mistaken for a purely cosmetic procedure, this is far from the truth today. The risk of death from bariatric surgery is very low—comparable to or even lower than gallbladder or hip surgery. Additionally, the surgery significantly reduces the risk of death from various diseases, including heart disease (by 40%), diabetes (by 92%), and cancer (by 60%). When you weigh the minimal risks against the substantial benefits, the decision to undergo surgery becomes much clearer.
