Why is Weight Loss Surgery Bad?

Weight loss surgery is often a desperate last attempt, undertaken only after traditional dieting and exercise have failed. The guidelines for weight loss surgery require that you have a body mass index (BMI) over 40, with more than 100 lbs. to lose or a BMI over 35, as well as a health condition exacerbated by obesity, like Type 2 Diabetes, according to Glamour magazine. General anesthesia comes with a substantial risk, in and of itself, but the long-term health implications of weight loss surgery cannot be overlooked.
