Substantial weight loss takes hard work and determination. It requires discipline, self-control, and knowledge about effective exercise and nutritional eating plans. But for individuals tipping the scales at 80 (women) and 100 (men) pounds or more over the suggested body weight for their frame, this can be a discouraging, overwhelming, and seemingly impossible task. For some individuals, the recommended weight loss solution is surgery.

You have tried everyone of them, Slimfast, Atkins, South Beach, and even Oprah’s Opti-fast. You’ve walked, ran, lifted weights and exercised until you were blue in the face and dead on your feet. Still you can’t get the scale to move below 275 pounds – which is 100 lbs more than you’re supposed to weight for you height, age and body build. You hate the way you look and feel, always more tired and slower than your friends. For years you’ve been told how dangerous it is to be obese. You are totally frustrated and angry – angry at yourself and all those thinner people who have no idea how hard you life is.
Recently, a friend told you about an operation that promises to make your stomach smaller so you won’t be able to each much; in that way you will not only lose weight but keep the weight off. Should you look into this operation in the hopes of being able to live a healthier, happy life?
