Today, with over 120 million overweight Americans, and at least 10 million considered morbidly obese, the statistics suggest that obesity has truly reached "epidemic" porportions. And while these numbers are staggering, even more alarming is that it is now estimated that as many as 300,000 people a year in the US are dying of obesity-related causes.

The media is filled with stories about the physical dangers of obesity, and the associated medical and financial costs that individuals, the government and businesses are facing in our increasingly overweight nation.Yet finding a lasting solution to help individuals actually win the weight loss battle has proven challenging. Clearly, something must be done to help the millions struggling with weight issues; but even for the most motivated individuals, traditional methods of losing weight have proven to be unsuccessful over time. In fact, the National Institutes of Health ("NIH") have shown that diet programs, medically supervised or not, have over a 95% failure rate. Diets just don't work. And diet medications haven't proven to be much better over time, offering only a 12% success rate.

For many individuals who have tried and failed to loose weight using diets, exercise and/or medications, bariatric (or "obesity") surgery may offer real hope for lasting results. Maintaining a normal body weight is critical to your good health, emotional well-being and longevity. When combined with the proper nutrition and a moderate exercise program, bariatric surgery has proven to be an effective tool in helping obese patients regain control of their weight.
