Marietta Nixon on 28 Nov 12People who are severely obese are at a higher risk for heart disease, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Sometimes, dieting and exercise are not effective by themselves. Some individuals have a genetic predisposition to obesity or have intense issues to overcome that complicate the dieting process. Bariatric surgery can save peoples' lives and help them lose weight. The procedure involves reducing the patient's stomach by either removing a piece of the stomach or implanting a gastric band. After the procedure, it is important to follow smart bariatric eating restrictions. After all, the stomach has changed, so eating habits have to change, too.
