Obesity is a major health care problem and one of the most frequent causes of preventable death in Western countries in the 21st century. Bariatric surgery is the only current treatment that has been shown to achieve major and durable weight loss, which can lead to total or partial control of a wide range of common and serious diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension according to a Medical Journal of Australia report.
