I need to lose 40 lbs..is surgey safe?

40 lbs: You probably won't need surgery to lose 40 lbs.

Bariatric surgery?: Have you attempted to lose weight the old fashioned way first? Recommend that calories burned exceed calories in. Drinking at least 8 8 ounce glasses per day is important for both hydration and weight control. Try to get in whole foods (fiber) as well as 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day. Physical activity is essential. At least 8 hours of sleep per night helps.
