Final Thoughts on Weight Loss Surgery

Bariatric surgery may be the next step for people who remain severely obese after trying nonsurgical approaches or for people who have an obesity-related disease. Surgery to produce weight loss is a serious undertaking. Anyone thinking about undergoing this type of operation should understand what is involved.
 
And remember, there are no guarantees for any method, including surgery, to produce and maintain weight loss. Success is possible only with maximum cooperation and commitment to behavioral change and medical follow-up, and this cooperation and commitment must be carried out for the rest of your life.
