If you are considering any type of bariatric (weight loss) surgery, then you likely already know the frustration of not being able to lose weight on your own. You are a good candidate for this surgery if:
- Your weight gain overwhelms you.
- You’ve tried countless other diets, only to watch your weight quickly return to previous levels or increase even higher
- You lack the physical ability or willpower to implement a rigorous exercise regimen
- You are concerned that obesity is posing a serious risk to your health
- You’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or triglycerides, insulin resistance or other metabolic problems
- Your inability to lose weight causes depression or feelings of hopelessness
