Weight Loss Surgery.

Gastric banding is one of weight loss surgery. Personally, I do not agree with this kind of surgery although there are some people who overcome obesity by doing this surgery. I think they can lose weight by doing some exercise and eating regularly. I don’t understand why they had to have surgery even thought there are some risks of that. Gastric bypass is also another weight loss surgery. By pouching out of upper stomach, the amount of food can be restricted. I’ve seen documentary tv program which is about two girls who had this surgery. Since they were child, they were obesity, so they couldn’t make a friend they couldn’t take part in any social event in school. They lost 10% weight 2 weeks after surgery. They said they were really happy. However I wonder why they didn’t try to lose weight when they were young and what their parents did.

well, people tend to be scared of the idea of surgery but otherwise, i think if done properly, and followed by a healthy lifestyle, it could be very benefital, but it all depends on how desperate the patient is and to what degree he/she is willing to go to in order to lose weight.
