Signs of a Good Bariatric Surgery Candidate
If you're obese and have tried every diet imaginable, sticking to it faithfully, and still can't lose the excess poundage, you might be a candidate for weight-loss surgery.
But bariatric surgeons don't choose just anyone. To qualify, a prospective patient must satisfy certain criteria. First, a person's body mass index, or BMI, must be at least 40 - or he or she must weigh at least 100 pounds more than his or her ideal weight.

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.

Obesity and Weight Loss Surgery
Severe obesity is a chronic condition that is difficult to treat through diet and exercise alone. Bariatric surgery is one of the best options for people who are severely obese and cannot lose weight by traditional means or who suffer from serious obesity-related health problems. The surgery promotes weight loss by restricting food intake and, in some operations, interrupting the digestive process. 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)

Gastric Banding
Millions of us are fighting the battle of the bulge. While diet and exercise work, for many it doesn’t cut it. But aggressive surgery is too much for most. This is really intended for those considered morbidly, or extremely obese, so much so it’s an immediate risk to one’s health.
Now, maybe, there’s something in between.
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)

EXERCISE STUDY
With dieting being the most commonly adopted method to lose weight, many of us refrain from taking up exercise. For people who are markedly overweight, it can be difficult to start an exercise program. But, the latest data shows the combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercise truly is the key to long term success. (Read more about EXERCISE STUDY)
