“The evidence continues to mount and our real-world experience continues to show bariatric surgery not only prevents, resolves, and improves obesity-related diseases, but also extends life.”

“It continues to amaze me that with all those proof, only between 1 and 2 percent of patients with severe obesity in the United States have bariatric surgery. 
This needs to change.”
