The relationship between weight loss surgery and sleep apnea is significant. Utilizing weight loss surgery as an effective solution for sleep apnea can offer relief for individuals burdened by its symptoms. The procedure can also lead to reduced severity and an overall long-term improvement in sleep quality.
Weight loss surgery can lead to substantial weight reduction, showing notable improvements in sleep quality and a significant reduction in the frequency of sleep apnea episodes
For individuals with sleep apnea who heavily rely on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines for uninterrupted breathing, weight loss surgery has shown results in reducing their dependence on CPAP therapy.
There are multiple benefits to weight reduction surgery beyond resolving sleep apnea. This procedure also improves cardiovascular health and better blood pressure control.
At the Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we prioritize the safety of our patients seeking weight loss surgery for sleep apnea management. Eligibility criteria typically include having a BMI above a certain threshold and experiencing significant sleep apnea symptoms that are not well-controlled with other treatments.
Before we begin the procedure, our experienced team guides patients through necessary lifestyle adjustments, including adopting a healthy diet and incorporating regular physical activity. These changes not only support better sleep apnea management but also enhance overall health and well-being. This ensures our patients are prepared for the journey ahead.
At Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we have witnessed numerous success stories among those with sleep apnea who had weight loss surgery.
