Thinking about losing weight? Surgical options
Tackling obesity seems simple. Eat less, exercise more, lose weight. But, for many severely overweight people, diets and exercise just don’t work. Furthermore, repeated attempts lead to the yo-yoing of short-term success followed by inevitable weight-gain, resulting in frustration, despair and worsening health. Obesity is a growing problem worldwide and the number of people looking for a solution to reduce their weight is soaring. Obesity not only reduces life expectancy but it is also associated with a 40% higher risk of developing cancer. Weight loss can prevent this and lead to a dramatic improvement in obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and high cholesterol. Treating obesity can also reverse infertility in women and can improve the results of surgeries such as knee and hip replacements.
