Deciding to have weight loss surgery for obesity can be a life-changing step for many people. The decision can be less overwhelming with the right knowledge beforehand. By having a meaningful discussion with a fellowship-trained, board-certified surgeon to thoroughly explain each procedure you can make the right decision for you.. It is important to understand that surgery is a tool to jump start your weight loss. Successful, long-term weight loss is reached by committing to healthy lifestyle changes including diet and exercise. Before deciding which procedure is right for you, here are some important factors to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Understand how weight loss surgery works<\/b>. Weight loss surgery decreases the size of your stomach, which limits the amount of food you can eat at one time, leaving you feeling fuller sooner and longer. \u00a0And, with the gastric bypass or gastric sleeve procedure, you will decrease your levels of hunger hormones so you will feel less hungry. \u00a0As you eat less food, your body will stop storing excess calories and start using its fat supply for energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Determine your weight loss goal<\/b>. All surgical weight loss procedures will result in an initial weight loss, but the amount lost can differ depending on which procedure you choose and the changes you commit to after surgery.<\/p>\n
