Many people with pre-existing medical conditions undergo treatment/surgery. Some medical conditions associated with increased body weight, such as type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnoea, hyperlipidaemia and high blood pressure, can improve following weight loss and therefore treatment/surgery can help. It is vital that you inform the specialist nurse and your doctors of any investigations or treatments you are receiving to ensure all tests and investigations are completed before proceeding as this will best ensure your safety and reduce the risks associated with surgery.
