According to the results of two clinical studies conducted in the US and Europe, patients who underwent weight correction operations are more likely to have a long life. According to the results of studies of 20,000 patients with excess weight, after the operation, life expectancy increases by 30-40% over the next 10 years.

Previous research has shown that weight loss reduces the risk of diabetes, heart failure and other diseases that reduce life expectancy. But it was this experiment that showed that weight loss leads not only to an improvement in the quality of life, but also to an increase in its duration.

The study did not study the effect of weight loss by other methods, such as diet and medication, on life expectancy. But, according to some scientists, all methods of weight loss can have a positive impact on the lives of patients.
