In the cases where it does cause symptoms, these are usually fatigue, general weakness and abdominal pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is fatty liver linked to obesity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, obesity is very closely related to fatty liver. Excess weight itself can cause or worsen many of the problems that lead a person to develop fatty liver, such as high blood pressure, intestinal diseases, and diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, obesity is often directly related to inadequate diets, excessive intake of processed foods high in sugar, and sedentary lifestyles; all of which increase a person's risk of developing fatty liver disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What benefits does bariatric surgery offer patients with fatty liver?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bariatric surgery can be very positive in the treatment of fatty liver; in this sense, it offers considerable benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Helps reduce weight<\/strong>: Being overweight is one of the major risk factors for fatty liver disease. By losing weight, you reduce your risk of developing it or reduce the severity of the disease itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improves cardiovascular health<\/strong>Cardiovascular diseases can lead to fatty liver or worsen their effects on your body if you already have it. By losing weight with bariatric surgeries such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/drcristobalgarza.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-gastric-sleeve\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1311\"><strong>gastric sleeve<\/strong><\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/drcristobalgarza.com\/en\/blog\/what-is-gastric-balloon\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1503\"><strong>gastric balloon<\/strong><\/a>, Cardiovascular diseases are also treated, thereby helping to treat fatty liver disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It contributes to the management of diabetes<\/strong>Diabetes can also cause or worsen fatty liver. With bariatric surgery, you would not only improve the symptoms of diabetes but also reduce its influence on the development of fatty liver.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It allows you to follow a healthier diet<\/strong>Diet is another major risk factor for fatty liver. Bariatric surgery facilitates and encourages the change towards a healthy diet, which helps prevent the onset or worsening of fatty liver.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, bariatric surgery acts on the vast majority of the risk factors of fatty liver, starting with the most important one: being overweight.
