I am going to play devil's advocate here, but some might argue that the extra time it takes someone to lose the weight on their own without surgery could make them more likely have health related issues from being obese since it will take them longer lose the weight.
Now, after saying that, I completely agree that surgery should be a last resort, and exercise and a healthy diet are the best ways to lose weight and keep it off.
By the way, your technical medical vocabulary is far beyond my grasp, could you explain what peristalsis is, and why it and reabsorption are important and how working out regularly causes it?
Thanks Yuliyasha, I really enjoy your commentary on these studies
