Surgery, the ultimate fix?
If we watch TV, surgery is the ultimate fix for all ills, including obesity. The panacea of getting good health.
It's obvious that things like weight loss surgery aren't really effective. The drastic procedures like gastric bypass and duodenal switch, which happy to say, most surgeons do not do anymore, will cause weight loss but at a cost which includes malnutrition issues usually found in third world countries and ultimately, shortening the patient's life which may not be what they wanted. On TV, it's the ultimate fix but as Buddy Valastro says, "It's TV baby!" Not the truth. Not even near the truth. Most surgeons are doing the gastric sleeve which is a much safer surgery but also not particularly effective except in the healing stage. Patients are told they need to diet and exercise which of course, work fine without surgery.
