Top Five Medical Reasons To Consider Weight-Loss Surgery

Their list advocating this IMHO medical malpractice is a bit disingenuous:
"Reversal of Type 2 diabetes
Improved fertility
Improvement or elimination of hypertension
Easing of joint pain
Increased longevity"
What they really meant was:
Income for physicians for the initial operation
Income for hospitals
Income for physicians for the redo procedure after the surgery fails
Income for dietitians, nutritionists and other support staff
Income for physicians for the lifelong follow-up
Now, that's a better list.

Fact is, none of the so-called reasons posited for encouraging this IMHO malpractice has to do with the surgery.

All are the result of weight loss which would be achievable except for the fact that Big Sick Care prevents people from losing weight.

Don't fall for their lies. You can lose the weight and get fitter without them.
