Does Weight Loss Surgery Reduce Long-Term Health Costs? Seems Not

Another reason why the rest of us should not pay for this IMHO malpractice.

Weight loss surgery does not reduce long-term health costs - at least among older men, says a new study published in Archives of Surgery. Although bariatric surgery is the most effective way to induce weight loss in individuals who are severely obese, the related health care expenditure trends have not been thoroughly investigated, say the researchers.

If fatsos want the procedure, let them pay for it themselves.

Same for the costs of treating fatosity medically.
