No patient should consider surgery unless they have failed in multiple attempts at weight loss through other methods. Only then is surgery a good option. There are many reasons for exploring surgery for obesity. Some people have serious illnesses such as diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension or degenerative joint disease caused by excess weight. For others, the primary motivation is the psychological impact the weight is having on their lives. Whatever the reason, it is essential to realize that surgery for obesity is a major operation that can have complications. Making the decision to have surgery requires careful thought.
