Is surgery right for me?
If you are morbidly obese and have struggled many years to lose weight, or have lost weight in the past only to have it come back over and over, then you are not alone. And bariatric surgery may be your answer. Upwards of 95% of people who are more than 100 pounds overweight and have been morbidly obese for more than five years fail at losing weight and keeping it off for five years. Simply put, diets, exercise, medication, and therapy have proven ineffective in achieving long-term weight loss for the morbidly obese patient.
So why choose surgery?
After a comprehensive 10-year study, the National Institute of Health (NIH) determined that, for the morbidly obese individual, the most effective method of weight reduction and weight maintenance was surgery.
