This is a very thoughtful MSNBC article about the complications and long-term issues surrounding lap-banding, a method of weight loss surgery. It also discusses the implications of using these methods on teens. Ugh!

Either way, it’s an interesting read, and I’m glad to know that there are doctors out there who are opposing WLS.

And here’s a study that demonstrates that bariatric surgery is not associated with living longer:
