Bariatric Surgery Doesn't Put Sleep Apnea to Rest

Still think there is a surgical "cure" to your overfatness?

"Bariatric surgery often improves sleep apnea symptoms and severity but shouldn't be considered a cure, according to a small polysomnography study.

After weight loss surgery, obstructive sleep apnea resolved for only 4% of patients and remained moderate to severe for 71%, reported Christopher J. Lettieri, M.D., of Walter Reed Army Medical Center here, and colleagues in the Aug. 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine."

Only in 1 in 25!

Super!

And how good is this fat person surgery for weight loss?

Super! (again)
