subject: How weight loss surgery could change your life - Streamline Surgical [print this page] When diets have failed, exercise and medications haven't worked and other weight loss methods are not forthcoming, weight loss surgery might just be the solution for those anxiously trying to lose weight.
Streamline Surgical, one of the largest weight loss surgery units in the UK, believes that surgery isn't simply about losing weight, but that the transformation that patients go through in terms of their self-esteem, health and happiness post-weight loss surgery all combine to really change obese patients' lives for the better. Their experience of seeing thousands of patients has shown them that controlled and sustained weight loss can lead to huge health benefits for an obese person.
The tangible benefits of weight loss surgery in terms of physical health are often obvious; less risk of conditions such as diabetes and cancer, greater mobility, improved breathing and sleeping and the reduction in general aches and pains. However, when asked, Streamline's patients tend to list the more intangible benefits of weight loss surgery. Post-weight loss surgery, patients found they were now able to play with their children or grandchildren. They became free of the control food had over them, with improved self confidence and esteem particularly in front of a mirror. After their weight loss surgery patients could sit on a plane or train comfortably, no longer feeling judged and ignored, but instead listened to and respected.
One gastric band patient commented My life has changed completely. My diabetes and high blood pressure have almost gone and life is so different now. I can play with my grandchildren, which is fantastic I never could have run about before! I haven't been able to shop in high street stores for 20 years and this is a massive boost'.
Whilst it is certainly the case that weight loss surgery is only suitable in fairly extreme cases, when diets have failed and medications have shown no lasting improvement, weight loss surgery does seem to offer a life-changing solution to those anxiously trying to lose weight.
