Generally, experts recommend that people who are obese should have tried various forms of diet and exercise for at least five years before considering weight loss surgery. They should also have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or greater with at least one serious associated medical problem, such as diabetes.
Rogers said some people are afraid of bariatric surgery because of "horror stories" about complications they hear in the media or elsewhere. But for almost everyone, the benefits outweigh any risks.
