Undergoing any surgery is a great decision, and should not be taken lightly. You should always consider the “risk-benefit ratio.”The first action for weight loss is a supervised diet and exercise program, with health supplements. This should work for most overweight individuals.Only when you are very obese (Class II or more) or you have associated metabolic illnesses like diabetes, high cholesterol or illness like these….then, you may be advised to undergo a weight-loss procedure. What I am saying is that if your problem of obesity is a serious one and if you are unable to bring into control, it will soon slip into other health hazards and hence you should consider surgery as the effective option.You cannot take obesity lightly. Fight obesity seriously! Do it, even if you have to go under a knife.It is risky not to!
