BENEFITS OF WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY
Cost savings over time
The weight loss surgery patients at Knox Community Hospital (KCH) recoup the surgery cost in about two years. One important reason is that weight loss surgery helps to improve obesity, heart, and diabetes related conditions, thereby providing savings on related prescription drugs, doctors, and hospital visits.
Better quality-of-life
Clinical studies found that weight loss surgery patients spend more time doing recreational and physical activities after the procedure. They also benefited from enhanced productivity, economic opportunities, and greater self-confidence.
