Which medical issues can be resolved by weight loss from gastric sleeve?

October 18, 2015
Asked By:Shellab in Minneapolis, NC

I'm a 40 year old female with a bmi of 40, considering gastric sleeve surgery. I have read that the weight loss will likely resolve my sleep apnea, but I'm wondering if it would help any of my other issues: ibs, diverticulosis/diverticulitis, pcos (acne, facial hair), plantar fasciitis, joint pain and inflammation. Any assistance or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
