[Obesity Discussion]

I don't have a problem with obesity surgery when there's an imminent health emergency, but other than that, like diet pills, I think obesity surgery is just another temporary shortcut people try to take to lose weight. Neither are going to work in the long run if you cannot control your eating habits. Many people go into obesity surgery, lose weight, and put it back on in the long term because they don't change their ways. Too many people look at diet pills and obesity surgery as a long term guarantee, and an alternative to controlling ones eating and proper exercise.....instead of looking to them as a supplement to healthy eating and exercise, which is what both are intended to be.
