Incidence and Prognosis of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery

I came across an interesting article today about improvements in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with weight loss surgery. I am proud to say that we at Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons of Morris have known for many years about benefits of metabolic surgeries, such as gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, as well as the fact that gastric banding really doesn’t have a positive impact on these conditions.

And now one of the most reputable medical journals – JAMA, published an article, which confirms what we already know and have been advocating – we give patients an excellent tool, be it sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass, and combined with healthy diet, rich in protein and fiber, as well as plenty of water, they are looking to have improvement or even resolution of these conditions and much better quality of life.
