Are You a Good Candidate for Bariatric Surgery?
Obesity in the United States is a common, serious, and deadly disease. Estimates of the medical cost of adult obesity in the United States range from a staggering $147 billion to nearly $210 billion per year. Still, anyone who has ever dieted knows that losing weight can be hard. And the more you weigh, the harder it can be to shed excess pounds. For some people, diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes aren’t enough; bariatric surgery offers another path to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
