How can you weight the risks of surgery versus the risks of obesity?
Patients that are suffering from morbid obesity will ask themselves whether the risk of surgery will outweigh the risks of being obese. The answer to this question is simply. Taking on the risk of curing obesity is worth it. Severe obesity is a chronic, progressive, and life-threatening disease. There is a higher risk of death for people with morbid obesity versus those that will undergo obesity surgery.
