A little bit more information:

Health Benefits: Bariatric surgery has been shown to help improve or resolve many obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and more. Bariatric surgery typically will lead to 40-80% of excess weight loss, depending on the specific type of procedure Dr. Andrea recommends.
