Weight loss procedures like the outstanding treatment options performed by Michael Feiz. M.D., F.A.C.S. can offer unexpected benefits.
LOS ANGELES, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The notion of a weight loss surgery is by no means a new idea. Patients have been benefiting from bariatric procedures for decades to successfully ward off the serious medical consequences attributed to severe obesity. Though the negative health impacts of severe obesity, including an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, cancer and diabetes, have been well known for quite some time, advances in technology and an increase in obesity related studies have also recently shed new light on the many benefits of losing weight through surgery. One of these benefits is unique to women, in that it may impact the ability to conceive a child and undergo a healthy pregnancy. At Dr. Feiz and Associates, Dr. Michael Feiz provides effective solutions to severe obesity for a very wide range of important benefits.
When many people consider obesity, they tend to focus on the physical image. Most of us value a slimmer figure, and so it's easy for some people to assume the negative effects of obesity are mostly cosmetic. Unfortunately, in addition to resulting in a less appealing body type, obesity impacts virtually every aspect of one's overall health. In addition to the major medical conditions, there are many consequences of severe obesity that can impair the quality of life. Many of these issues aren't as apparent as others, such as sleep apnea which can cause an overall lack of energy, or bladder problems that can result in urinary difficulties. For severely obese women, pregnancy can sometimes be difficult or impossible to achieve.
Because obesity places such intense stress on the body, it reduces the ability for most women to conceive, and that only worsens depending on the severity of the obesity. It has previously been believed that obesity caused permanent damage to a woman's ability to carry children, but recent studies have brought new hope to women. As with other ailments and illnesses impacting severely obese individuals, the odds of a successful pregnancy improve as the result of shedding pounds. Because bariatric surgery has been proven to be safe, effective and yields consistently positive results, weight loss surgery and pregnancy has become a popular topic amongst doctors and medical professionals. So far, evidence has shown that some severely obese women who were previously unable to conceive a child became able to do so after a successful operation.
