So, this has been popping up a lot lately. One of the articles can be found here.
I find it a bit mind blowing that people will go to this extreme measure to lose weight and/or reverse other health problems when you can simply change the way you eat. There are medical studies that show a plant based diet can reverse diabetes along with many other health issues. But many rather have their stomach stapled than say no to their food. One of the only things we have control over in this life is what we put in our mouths.
Of course the media grabs this and runs with it. So all of these people think they have a fix all when the truth is you can return back to the way you were. Once your stomach heals you can stretch it back out again. So how many will end up right back where they were since they didn't actually change their diet?
What are your thoughts on this? For it or against it or indifferent?
