When it comes to weight loss surgery, I’m not pro-surgery, I’m pro-choice. WLS (weight loss surgery) is not the right solution for everyone, but the fact is, it saves lives and gives people their life back. Sometimes it gives life to people who have only been living a shadow of a life because they have been obese all their lives.

If you read enough blogs, you will find there are people who are very anti-WLS. Some of these people haven’t had surgery. Some have never been overweight. Some are people who are trying to sell you some other weight loss solution. Some of these anti-WLS opinions come from medical professionals. The fact that someone is in the field of medicine does not mean they are an expert on weight loss surgery, nutrition or even obesity.
