Conditions & Treatments
Carrying extra weight can affect your health in many ways, including increasing your risk for health conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea.
When you have two or more ongoing health condition, your care team may call these “comorbidities.”
These health concerns can affect people at any weight. However, as weight increases, they may develop sooner and become more serious over time.

Diet
Bariatric surgery changes the way you digest and absorb food, so you must carefully follow the recommendations outlined in the bariatric surgery guide for the rest of your life to maximize weight loss and stay healthy.
You’ll also need to think about nutrition differently to make sure your body gets what it needs to stay healthy now that it digests and absorbs food differently.
