For many who are suffering from an extreme form of obesity, surgery might be the only option. The phrase surgery actually strikes fear in the hearts but today’s Scientists and Doctors are helping to remove the fear and after effects of any surgery with technological advances in medicine. The many dangers of heavy weight involve lurking perils of heart disease and impaired glucose intolerance leading to diabetes. It would be dangerous to delay the treatment if you are in the range of being called overweight.
The fast food culture and the frantic pace of life have left us with little options. Unable to cook fresh and healthy meals, gorging on junk food that is readily available has become an enormous issue and is responsible for a steep rise in overweight people not only in America but all around the planet.
I remember when I was young there were hardly any eateries, we used to eat only homemade food and cold drinks were a treat once in a blue moon. Now a large number of people drink it every day. Also, fast food restaurants and ready-made food options are available on every nook and corner of the streets. No wonder, we have a short supply of god and healthy food.
Morbid obesity is a term that defines a class of people who are at risk from too much of weight. It is important to understand that the reason people are obese may not be as straightforward as eating too much. The reasons can vary; heredity and sedentary life style can result in excessive obesity too.

Are you cautious and watching your weight?
It's surprising that insurance companies apparently do not tend to cover bariatric surgery. It seems that it's the last resort to saving someone's life from death by too many pounds/kilograms.
There was mention in your last subheading, Bariatric Surgery Diet, that "There are specific diet guidelines that you need to follow strictly. It consists of having meals regularly, more often and chewing the food completely before gulping it down. You will be required to adhere to the foods that dietician prescribes. It is a complete life style changes that you need to incorporate."
Would there by restrictions on amounts and kinds of drinks?
@ologsinquito - Morbid obesity is an extreme form of obesity, different equipment might be needed, it's optional though. Once the patient loses weight, it may not be required - provided he or she does not put weight again.
Fast food is one of the causes of child obesity which is a great cause of concern.
@Mira - My old neighbour had undergone this surgery, she was obese and nothing would help to reduce the extra flab. I think operation becomes a compulsion sometimes. Thankfully, with the advances in medicine and surgery, it can be treated.
I was also surprised to see how much equipment is needed. It's good that you pointed out one if the main reasons behind obesity, and that is fast food, which does seem to be everywhere.
Getting your stomach to one cup is pretty drastic, but some people have to do it. Interesting article (I was surprised to realize that morbidly obese people need all kinds of equipment around the house) and video!
