We’re here to support your journey to a healthier and more fulfilling life.
What Is High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is when the force of blood against your artery walls is too high. It’s often referred to as “the silent killer” because it frequently has no obvious symptoms. However, if left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems. If you’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure or you suspect you are suffering from the condition, then bariatric surgery may be an option for you.

How Can Bariatric Surgery Help with Hypertension?
Bariatric surgery for hypertension can be very effective. Weight loss can directly reduce the pressure on your artery walls, reduce the strain on your heart, and improve your overall health. By achieving significant weight loss, you can improve your symptoms and reduce your reliance on medication.
Bariatric surgery has been shown to be very effective in lowering blood pressure, reducing the need for medication, and improving long-term health outcomes for many patients.
The recovery time will vary depending on the procedure, but most patients can expect a few days of discomfort, followed by a gradual return to normal activity. Most patients can easily return to work in one to two weeks following the procedure. We’ll provide you with a detailed recovery plan.
The long-term benefits include sustainable weight loss, reduced blood pressure, and reduced risks associated with hypertension.
Understanding the Connection Between High Blood Pressure and Obesity
Obesity often increases the risk of hypertension. As you weigh more, your body requires more blood circulation, which in turn puts pressure on the artery walls. The metabolic changes caused by obesity can also make it difficult to lose weight without some kind of intervention. Bariatric surgery breaks that cycle by allowing you to achieve significant and sustainable weight loss.
