IFSO shares the story of Savka, whose journey reflects the profound impact of Metabolic Bariatric Surgery on health and quality of life.
“At the beginning of my journey, I weighed 135 kg and was living with multiple health conditions.”
Savka describes how obesity affected even the simplest daily activities. “Climbing stairs left me exhausted, and I couldn’t even tie my shoes.”
Today, her life looks very different. “I now weigh 85 kg. Most importantly, I no longer have the health problems I used to have. I am healthy, I can exercise without getting tired, and my quality of life is much better.”
For Savka, surgery was life-changing. “The operation completely changed my life. It gave me a second chance to take care of myself, to be grateful.” Looking back, she adds, “The only thing I regret is not having tried it sooner.”

IFSO comparte la historia de Savka, un testimonio que refleja el profundo impacto de la cirugía bariátrica metabólica en la salud y la calidad de vida.
“Al comenzar el proceso pesaba 135 kg y tenía múltiples enfermedades”.
Savka recuerda cómo la obesidad afectaba incluso las actividades más simples del día a día. “Subir escaleras me cansaba de inmediato y ni siquiera podía abrocharme los zapatos”.
Hoy, su realidad es muy diferente. “Actualmente peso 85 kg. Lo más importante es que ya no tengo los problemas que solía tener. Estoy sana, puedo hacer deporte sin cansarme y tengo una calidad de vida mucho mejor”.
Para Savka, la cirugía fue un punto de inflexión. “La operación cambió completamente mi vida. Es una segunda oportunidad para cuidarme y agradecer”. Al mirar atrás, concluye: “Lo único de lo que me arrepiento es de no haberlo intentado antes”.

IFSO highlights the message shared by Dr. Sosa from Argentina on the relationship between obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, and Metabolic Bariatric Surgery.

As Dr. Sosa explains, for many people living with obstructive sleep apnea, excess weight plays a critical role. Increased fat tissue around the neck and airway can lead to repeated airway collapse during sleep, severely affecting breathing, sleep quality, and overall health.

The good news is that scientific evidence shows Metabolic Bariatric Surgery can significantly improve, and in many cases resolve, obstructive sleep apnea. By reducing body weight and relieving pressure on the airway, patients are often able to breathe more normally—sometimes within the first year after surgery.

For many, this means deeper, more restorative sleep, waking up refreshed, and in some cases, no longer needing a CPAP machine. When sleep apnea is stealing energy, health, and quality of life, effective, evidence-based solutions matter.

IFSO supports informed conversations about obesity treatment options. Let’s talk about solutions. Let’s talk about Metabolic Bariatric Surgery.
