Why not just lose the weight through diet and exercise and skip the serious complications that could result from surgery?
If you can lose the necessary amount of weight (and keep it off) though diet and exercise-more power to you! Ninety five percent of the people considering WLS have tried (sometimes numerous times) and failed. I like to use this analogy. If someone asks, “If I can buy a lottery ticket and win the lottery, why do I have to work for a living”? My answer would be, “You don’t. If it is easier and less painful to win the lottery and if you can do it, then go for it”. For a morbidly obese individual, losing a significant amount of weight is comparable to winning the lottery.
