I said it wouldn't cure the reason they were Obese. You yourself wrote that Obesity was more to do with trauma and not just reaching for another piece of cake. So which is it? People seem to be switching their opinion.

So either they are Obese as a result of trauma in which case surgery isn't going to cure the REASON you are obese or they are obese because they over-eat and don't exercise in which case the surgery will be effective but only stay effective as long as the clients make positive, healthy lifestyle changes. To be honest it's not as black and white as that and i'm sure it's probably a mixture of the two and many, many other reasons.

I have never said that surgery wouldn't work. If you want to lose weight then i'm positive the surgery would make you lose weight but as many of people have posted the weight gain is caused by something that can't be fixed by surgery.
