Long-Term Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery on Metabolic Syndrome Resolution

Quick fact

Long-term studies show that bariatric surgery leads to remission of metabolic syndrome in 50–96% of patients at 1-2 years, and while some patients relapse, sustained remission remains common at 5-10 years, with significant reductions in cardiovascular events and mortality.
