Bariatric Surgery Found to Lower Risk of Death
Obesity is on the rise, and so are associated health risks like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and sleep apnea. Although once believed to be a risky and rare procedure, bariatric surgery is becoming a prevalent option for people who suffer from morbid obesity. Over 175,000 patients underwent bariatric surgery last year and the number is expected to grow this year. Although there are risks in undergoing these procedures, the surgery death rate has fallen over the years as the technique becomes more sophisticated and less invasive.

As in other treatments for obesity, the best results are achieved with healthy eating behaviors and regular physical activity. (Read more about Obesity and Weight Loss Surgery)

Ed Schauder has struggled for years with his weight…
It’s been a recurring cycle of failed diets. “Just about every single one of them, slim fast, weigh watchers,” says Ed.
And when he hit his forties, he realized, he was in trouble.
“I probably was more than 370 pounds when I first cam here in May of 2005. I couldn’t register on the scale,” says Ed. (Read more about Gastric Banding)

Women, Obesity Rates, and the Fountain of Youth
The fattening of America is so out there, so obvious, the question has become how do we get the message that we need to reverse the trend?
Perhaps, the message is sinking in, at least among women.
New research released by the CDC shows, among women, no significant increase in obesity was observed between 1999 and 2004…roughly a third of females remain obese (Read more about Women, Obesity Rates, and the Fountain of Youth)
