(E) General

Q. What is the youngest age for which weight loss surgery is recommended?

A. Generally accepted guidelines from the American Society for Bariatric Surgery and the National Institutes of Health indicate surgery only for those 18 years of age and older although surgery has been performed on younger patients. There is a real concern that young patients may not have reached full developmental or emotional maturity to make this type of decision. It is important that young weight loss surgery patients have a full understanding of the lifelong commitment to the altered eating and lifestyle changes necessary for success.

Q. What is the oldest patient for whom weight loss surgery is recommended?

A. Patients over 65 require very strong indications for surgery. The risk of surgery in this age group is increased while the benefits in terms of reduced risk of mortality are reduced.

Q. Can weight loss surgery prolong life ?

A. There is strong scientific evidence that if you have type 2 diabetes, heart disease, osteo-arthritis or several other serious, obesity-related diseases, are at least 100 lbs. over your ideal body weight and if you are able to comply with the permanent lifestyle changes (daily exercise and low-fat diet), then weight loss surgery may significantly prolong your life.

Q. Can weight loss surgery help other physical conditions ?

A. A recent comprehensive clinical review of bariatric surgery data showed that many patients who underwent a weight loss surgery procedure experienced complete resolution or improvement of their co-morbid conditions including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea*.
