In the United States, Obesity has become one of the foremost health concerns.
This disease, which affects nearly 30 percent of the adult population, leads
to many of the associated medical conditions responsible for death of
American adults. In fact, Obesity is considered the leading cause of preventable
death in the United States. New York is one of the most overweight states
in the U.S.
When obesity becomes severe, diet and exercise are not enough to restore
good health and longevity. 95 to 99% of those who can lose
weight with diet or exercise, simply gain it back.
Bariatric surgery, however, is highly successful in
allowing one to lose weight, and restore health, longevity, and enjoyment of life.
