Why Get Weight Loss Surgery?

Because the results from weight loss surgery can improve happiness. From reversing diabetes to increasing fertility, there are a plethora of physical improvements seen in the lives of patients who undergo bariatric surgery. However, it goes beyond that. The mental and emotional changes experienced from surgeries, such as those done at New You Sleeve, truly leads to a “new you” from the inside out.

Research Proves Increased Happiness

In countless studies done on the topic of mental health and weight loss surgery, including one published in the journal, “Psychology, Health, and Medicine” in 2014, results show that obese patients report they are much happier and score higher in mental stability tests upon having the surgery. The surgery gives patients the self-image they have aspired to obtain, the freedom to do the activities that were once limited by their obesity, and the ability to live a life of more opportunity.

Opportunities After Surgery

As soon as a couple weeks after surgery, patients are back on their feet and can do activities above and beyond everything they tried to do when obese. That hike they always wanted to try, that bike ride their child always wished they could come on, and anything else they wanted to do, but were too limited by physically, can likely be conquered upon the doctor’s post-surgical approval. After the surgery, the limits to how patients live their lives are loosened. The freedom that the surgery grants can lead to a version of you that is more flexible, more free, and happier.-Jamie Clarke
