Why should I undergo surgery for a problem which can be controlled with change in eating habits & exercise?
Overweight & obesity is an end result of inherited genes, eating environment & lifestyle changes. It is true that conventional measures like controlled eating, regular exercises etc can help in weight loss. However, long term follow up studies have shown that morbidly obese individuals regain their lost weight within 1-3 years. Obesity is the cause of many associated diseases & thus with the weight regain, associated illnesses also come back.
