Caution :
“Bariatric surgery does have a role to play in obesity management, but we should explore every other option before we resort to surgery.”
Robert Houtman, director of the Obesity Management Association, a UK-based patient advocacy group.
“In appropriately selected patients, especially those witha high cardiovascular risk, surgical weight loss could be life- saving.”
“The magnitude of effect on risk factors is impressive, and to date no pharmacological therapy for weight management or diabetes has shown a comparable effect over these short timeperiods.”
The authors of a study led by Amanda Vest of the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
The survey was published yesterday in the U.K. journal Heart, which commissioned the research.
Fact :
At least 2.8 million adults die each year as a result of being overweight or obese, according to the Geneva-based World Health Organization.

"The more options that we have available, the better it's going to be."

"Have a discussion with your doctor, not about whether there's a magic bullet you could be on for weight loss, but whether or not you're on any medications at this point that could be contributing to weight gain."

Weight loss and cancer, weight loss and fertility. Talking about the links.
"Postmenopausal women who lose evena moderate amount of weight (5 percentor more) through diet and exercise can significantly lower their risk of estrogen-sensit ive breast cancers by as much as 25 percent to 50 percent,"
"researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found."
"We know stressors in our lives contribute to weight gain, so an effort torelieve unneeded worries or managing other issues can be a great start. Womencan also start by setting realistic goals, following a low-calorie diet and getting the recommended 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise most days of the week."

According to findings reported in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism by Penn State College of Medicine researchers.
"Obesity in women has been linked to lack of ovulation and thus infertility."
But
"The effects of weight loss on reproductive function are more modest than we hypothesized. In terms of ovulation, there doesn't appear to be a window after surgery where fertility is improved,"
"Other factors may be involved with infertility in obese women, such as diminished sexual desire and thus less intercourse."
Richard Legro, M.D., professor of obstetrics and gynecology.
