A member asked:
What would you suggest i do to convince my friend to get gastric bypass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be supportive: The best answer is that this is an individual choice. The best outcomes in bariatric surgery are with those patients who are highly motivated, understand the risks, and who make the choice themselves. The best thing your friend needs is your support and understanding. Provide this, and he/she will have the best advice you can give.
