Patients Happy After Weight-Loss Surgery
Weight Loss Surgery Channel, 22nd 2009
Last research show that patients in Canada who underwent batriatic surgery feel good, happy and are more healthy.
386 patients between 21 and 68 years old were examined by the Weight Loss Benefits survey. Only part of them managed to lose weight by the time of the survey. Three quarters of them had not reached their goal weight.
Even those results, though, gave the patients better self-esteem. It’s very good news as it means that even small results give the patients good emotions and they are more willing to keep on going.
As much as seven out of ten patients said that after the weight-loss procedure their confidence and self-esteem increased. Six out of ten said their energy level increased whereas 30% of the patients reported improvements in their sex lives.
The benefits of the weight-loss surgery are not only psychological. 58% of the patients felt improvements in overall pains and aches, their heartburn were less frequent and hypertension and remission of type 2 diabetes reduced.
