Obesity Surgery Can Improve Sleep And Reduce Snoring, US And Spanish Studies Conclude

Nope.

More lies from the malpractitioners of bariatric surgery.
"Two studies presented at the annual Congress of the European Respiratory Society (ERS) in Stockholm have revealed that obesity surgery (known to specialists as bariatric surgery) may have important advantages beyond its primary objective of major weight loss. It can significantly reduce, or even eliminate, interruptions to breathing (apnoea) during sleep. Sleep apnoea can cause snoring and is a recognised risk factor for cardiovascular disease."
It is simply the weight loss that "significantly reduce(s), or even eliminate(s), interruptions to breathing (apnoea) during sleep."

If the weight was not lost the apnea would not go away.

When the weight is regained (which is common), POOF!, the apnea returns.

It is not the surgery. It is the weight loss.

This is the marketing hype the malpractice known as bariatric surgery employs in order to mutilate you and your children.
