COUNSELLING FOR WEIGHT LOSS & OBESITY SURGERY

Improvements in the techniques of obesity (or bariatric) surgery in recent years have made this a more safe and useful option for people with serious weight problems. This may be suitable if you have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight and you have diabetes or other health problems that would respond to weight loss.
