Obesity surgery thins bones, but enough to break?

Another benefit of the IMHO malpractice known as bariatric surgery.

"It isn't just the thunder thighs that shrink after obesity surgery. Melting fat somehow thins bones, too. Doctors don't yet know how likely patients' bones are to thin enough to break in the years after surgery. But one of the first attempts to tell suggests they might have twice the average person's risk, and be even more likely to break a hand or foot...

'These procedures are now being sold as a panacea,' Dr. Shonni Joy Silverberg of Columbia University told last week's annual meeting of The Endocrine Society, where the fat-and-bone relationship took center stage."

Oops.

Better to lose the weight naturally.
