A member asked:
How effective is weightloss surgery for keeping weight off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very: It is not without its risks, and there are lifesytle modifications to go with it. But the benefits seem to be not just weight reduction, but an immediate and mysterious benefit to many people's internal milieu that greatly improves glucose metabolism. If you think it may be right for you, talk with your physician.
