Weight-Loss Surgery could Ease Diabetes and help with Heart Disease
According to the latest research, weight loss surgery could ease out the risk of diabetes and help in overcoming heart diseases. The risk was reduced by 40% and the patient would be free of these complications and can avoid an early death.
Weight reduction surgery also decreases the risks of reverse diabetes, eliminate sleep apnea, improve fertility, ease joint pain and pressure, and relieve symptoms of depression.

The doctors are quite happy to discover the interrelation between the two.

They also lost a lot of weight which was the main purpose.
Although patients suffering from diabetes are also prone to cardiovascular diseases and when they are given medications to keep in check the blood sugar level, their health also improves.
Even though the weight-loss operation is getting safer day by day, there is a specific criterion that people have to fulfill to be eligible for the operation. Even those who are eligible, only 1% of those undergo the surgery.
