Obesity is an epidemic in America and in every modern country in the world. But, until now, the prevailing "solution" has been something I liken to torture: forcing sane, normal people to follow one rigid formula after another, to achieve a specific weight. Every one of the hundreds of diet books and weight-loss programs out there offer rigid "solutions" that are nearly impossible to follow long-term for one reason: They force you to adopt someone elses's idea of what to eat. That doesn't work. Weight loss is more about getting to live the life you want to live and finding your best weight to do that. In terms of succeeding at weight loss, improving your health, and extending your life, bariatric surgery is the single most successful method. After 20 years helping thousands of people to permanently lose weight, I have seen bariatric surgery repeatedly succeed when all other methods have failed.
