Outstanding article by one of the best bariatric surgeons in the US. My favorite sentence: "In my practice, I've operated on more than 3,000 patients, many of whom would fall into the category of extremely obese (those with a BMI greater than 60), and I can tell you this: They don't wake up saying they want to be fat." Link below to read the full article - it's terrific.

with being overweight or obese.
