Weight-Surgery Can Improve Symptoms of Asthma

Here at University Bariatrics, our highly trained surgical team is dedicated to providing the very best weight loss solutions like sleeve gastrectomy in Westlake Village for patients struggling with severe obesity. Because traditional methods such as diet and exercise are rarely effective for producing the necessary results for severely obese individuals to ward off the serious associated health consequences such as heart attack, stroke, and obesity, our techniques are proven to be safe and able to consistently yield positive results. Many of these positive results include benefits that are continuing to be unveiled by new studies. One such benefit is the possible reduction in asthma symptoms. 

According to new research, asthma flare-ups can decrease due to the reduction of chemicals called interleukins that are released from excess fat cells. As severely obese individuals are able to lose weight through weight loss surgery their asthma symptoms may also improve. Such benefits may be surprising, however they pale in comparison toward improving the quality of life and avoiding deadly health conditions. If you or someone you know is ready to take a step toward a healthier lifestyle, contract our team today to find out if the bariatric surgery in Thousand Oaks is right for you.
