Why is weight loss surgery so controversial?

Question

I work with weight loss surgery patients. The decision to have weight loss surgery is a personal one. Why is there such a stigma on people who have surgery. Obesity is a disease. It is proven that weight loss surgery improves health. Why do people ridicule those who have surgery?

Answer 1

Surgery is only recommended for severely obese people (BMI > 40) who have failed to lose weight following dietary modification and pharmacological treatment. however, there are other ways to beat obesity like by exercising or taking diet pills. http://www.bestlossweightdiet.com/
