If You Think Bariatric Surgery Is A Quick Fix – Don’t Do It!

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Over the next three days, I will be attending the XVI World Congress of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) in Hamburg, Germany.

One of the presentations that I will give at this conference has the title: “Why Bariatric Surgery Is Not A Quick Fix”.

Much of what I will be presenting in this talk was summarized in a recent series of posts on the pros and cons of bariatric surgery, that regular readers will recall.

For readers, who have joined recently or do not read every post, here are links to this series, which I believe most people, who do not regularly deal with this issue will likely find of considerable interest.
