However, Weight Loss Surgery offers obese people an opportunity to change their life and the key to their success is good aftercare and moderate lifestyle changes that will provide the patient wonderful long-term results not only for their weight but also for their overall health. According to Dr. Jorge Arturo Parra one of the lead bariatric surgeons at Weight Loss Team in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, the patients will obviously improve their social life and relationships after undergoing life changing weight loss surgery.

Committing to a post weight loss surgery diet and making lifestyle changes requires many interpersonal adjustments for the patient, and this will help how the patient thinks about him or herself.
According to Dr. Parra, who is the only surgeon in Puerto Vallarta Mexico to have a master’s degree in Bariatric Surgery, Weight Loss Surgery patients are on average about 100 pounds lighter, more active, energetic and with much better attitude after achieving their success after having their weight loss surgery. Many of these patients may have taken many different types of medication before surgery, but, after Weight Loss Surgery, they would take significantly less amounts of these medications used to treat their complications caused by obesity, including diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. This will result in a healthier postop patient who is fuller of life and able to do many things they could not do before surgery due to their excess weight.
