Bariatric surgery increases patient death rates, says study

In those that are overweight (mostly obese) and are considering bariatric surgery to aid in that weight loss, I urge you to consider radical nutrition and exercise options before having your body cut into for rapid weight loss by the knife.

Of course, consult with your doctor for proper guidance, but weight loss surgery should be the last resort unless there exists no safe alternative. What I can say is this: your body is remarkable adept at adapting given a chance. Nutritional changes and exercise are too good adaptations, right?

New research shows that death rates for those that undergo weight loss surgery are higher than among people of the same age who don't have the need to undergo weight loss surgery. Convinced of an alternative way to lose that weight yet?
