Gastric Bypass 'a Viable Treatment' for CV Risk in the Severely Obese

Only if the fat pay for it themselves.
A new study following severely obese participants out to six years after gastric-bypass surgery shows that they had higher rates of diabetes remission and a lower incidence of developing diabetes, compared with nonsurgical controls [1].

The surgical patients also had significantly improved cardiovascular and metabolic risk profiles compared with those who didn't undergo gastric bypass...
Otherwise, it is a net loser for the rest of us who are not calorically irresponsible and developing diseases of choice because of it.
