[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a doctor, but my understanding is that patients being considered for gastric bypass need to demonstrate a will to change their lifestyle and diet before getting cleared for the surgery. Otherwise, they will just make themselves ill after they have it (it's not a silver bullet). If these are people that have been rejected by reputable doctors then I'm surprised that this doctor is willing to be filmed doing these high risk surgeries.[/quote] The doctor does require the patients to lose weight before he does the surgery, to demonstrate that they can stick with it afterwards. Most of those on the show have been successful (I don't know how many they follow and then do not air as an episode).[/quote]
