Return to Story IndexI BARIATRIC SURGERY
BUT AS JUDY FORTIN REPORTS IN TONIGHT'S HEALTH MINUTE, THE PROCEDURE DOESN'T GURANTEE YOU'LL LOSE ALL THOSE EXTRA POUNDS. IT'S ESTIMATED ONE IN THREE AMERICANS IS OBESE. FOR THOSE WHO'VE TRIED-- AND CAN'T-- LOSE WEIGHT THROUGH DIET AND EXERCISE ALONE, GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY MAY BE AN OPTION. BUT DR. PETER LEPORT CAUTIONS, IT'S NO QUICK FIX. I can operate on the patient but I can't make them lose weight, I can help them lose weight with the operation. LEPORT SAYS HIS PATIENTS ARE TYPICALLY CONSIDERED MORBIDLY OBESE. THAT MEANS AT LEAST 75 TO 100 POUNDS OVERWEIGHT. BEFORE HE EVER WALKS THROUGH THE OPERATING ROOM DOOR, HE MAKES SURE THE PATIENT IS CAREFULLY SCREENED FOR POSSIBLE MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS. HIS CENTER ALSO COUNSELS CLIENTS ON DIETARY LIFESTYLE AFTER SURGERY. It's a lifetime commitment to eating slowly and eating appropriately, I always tell my patients they have the easiest thing in the world to do and that is to eat slowly. LEPORT WARNS THE PROCEDURE ISN'T RIGHT FOR EVERYONE. It's dangerous, nobody, no surgeon would say the best way to lose weight is by operating, obviously it's by dieting. EVEN SO, LEPORT CLAIMS THE RISK OF SURGERY IS LOWER THEN ACTUALLY CARRYING AROUND TOO MUCH WEIGHT. FOR TODAY'S HEALTH MINUTE, I'M JUDY. ACCORDING TO A GOVERNMENT SURVEY RELEASED LATE LAST WEEK, WEST VIRGINIA IS THE FIFTH MOST OBESE STATE IN THE NATION. THAT'S BETTER THAN LAST YEAR, WHEN THE MOUNTAIN STATE CAME IN AT SECOND PLACE.
