Health and Wellness

[David Ogden]

Did you know that weight loss surgery coupled with exercise, diet, therapy, etc have proven results to produce higher results of longer sustained weight loss, improving health and wellness.

• Exercise alone produces an average weight loss of 1.8 kg. The more you exercise the more weight you lose.
• Diet alone produces an average weight loss of 5.0 kg. This effect peaks 6-12 months following the start of the diet and wanes after this point. No diet is better than any other in the long term but the greater the reduction in calories, the greater the initial weight loss.
• Behavioural therapies (e.g. cognitive therapy, psychotherapy, relaxation therapy, hypnotherapy) produce an average weight loss of 2.3 kg.
• Exercise plus diet result in an average weight loss of 10.7 kg and helps to maintain weight loss for a longer period.
• Exercise plus diet plus behavioural therapies result in the greatest average weight loss of 12-15 kg.
• Taking weight loss drugs with no changes in lifestyle result in an average weight loss of 5kg. Taking weight loss drugs, in combination with behavioural therapies, leads to an average weight loss of 12 kg.
• Patients that lose more than 10% of their body weight prior to bariatric surgery are 2.12 times more likely to achieve a 70% loss of excess body weight

. The story was the same with bariatric surgery. Patients who exercise and lose weight prior to surgery are less likely to have postoperative complications and lose more weight at a quicker rate after surgery than those who did not.

Overall, this health and wellness review indicates that when treating obese patients, weight loss drugs and bariatric surgery are significantly more successful if they are offered in conjunction with improvements to diet and exercise.
