Published by Web Desk Monday, December 7, 2015

Maybe its your friend, maybe its a family member, or maybe its you. Now that more than one third of Americans are obese, you probably know someone who has tried, and failed, to lose a significant amount of weight. Unfortunately, when you\'ve been overweight for your entire life, losing weight can seem like an impossible feat. That is probably why more and more people have begun to consider weight loss surgery as an alternative to living with the negative side effects of obesity. If you or someone you know is considering this life changing surgery, you might be worried about the possible repercussions of undergoing an elective procedure. There is no denying that there are cons to weight loss surgery. Sagging skin, poor absorption of nutrients, and the possibility of gaining the weight back are all risks. Improved liver function, improved cardiovascular health, and longer life span, however, are just some of the benefits. Weight loss surgery is a serious life changing decision and should not be taken lightly. Make sure you educate yourself on all the pros and cons, and then talk to your doctor.
