Bariatric surgery is a surgical option to help patients lose excess weight. The long term risks of morbid obesity, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and degenerative joint disease, have been well documented. Many patients who have been unable to lose weight under medical surveillance or have been unsuccessful with programs such as Weight Watchers consider a surgical option.
