HCA Midwest Physicians - June 19, 2024 Obesity is a rapidly growing public health concern, affecting 42 percent of adults living in the United States and costing Americans a whopping $147 billion annually, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported earlier this year. Bariatric, or weight loss surgery , is one of the most powerful tools we have in our weight loss arsenal. Over the past 30 years, we’ve gained a much more-thorough knowledge of digestive physiology as the number of procedures has continued to climb, yet bariatric surgery remains shrouded in myths, misconceptions and fears that often prevent the people who would benefit the most from seeking help.
