Weight loss surgery can reverse many medical conditions

This can eliminate, reverse or greatly reduce a large number of serious medical conditions including type 2 diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease, hypertension, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), respiratory problems, sleep apnea, joint pain, gallstones, high cholesterol, liver disease, asthma and depression. It can also lower the risk for certain types of cancer including breast, colon and prostate and can have a large impact on a person's social, psychosocial and economic well-being.
