I have been asked by a number of people why I had gastric bypass surgery. While I understand that morbid obesity leads to “Terminal Obesity” some people seem to be offended by the use of the term “Terminal Obesity.” Sorry about that folks but I tell it like it is. Morbid nearly doubles the risk of early death and is often accompanied by severe side effects such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
In this video Dr. Alan Whitgrove is interviewed on Health Matters and discusses how morbid obesity often leads to early death, the benefits of bariatric surgery, the difficulty for morbidly obese individuals to loose and maintain an acceptable weight through dieting and related subjects. This is a good video that will give you a better understanding of bariatric weight loss surgery. You should watch it if you are considering the surgery or know someone else that is.
