Morbidity Revisited

So, in my very first post I list the diseaseas that had been caused by my being overweight. Let's look at some statistics regarding each of those! I'm using The Expert's Guide to Weight Loss Surgery by Garth Davis, M.D. as a reference for the following:

Type 2 Diabetes - completely resolved in 76.8% of WLS patients and resolved or improved in 86%

High Cholesterol - improved in 70% or more of WLS patients

High Blood Pressure - resolved in 61.7% and resolved or improved in 78.5%

Obstructive Sleep Apnea - resolved in 85.7%

Acid Reflux  - minimum of 72% resolved

Degenerative Joint Disease - 41 to 76% resolved

Depression - 55% resolved

Resolved ... means CURED!  Cured.  CURED!

My favorite statistic ...

Quality of life was improved 
in 95% of WLS patients!

I find that to be SO very powerful.

Be blessed and be blessings y'all!
