 Re: Weighing the Risks

""There are bad outcomes," says Trace Curry, a bariatric surgeon and director of the Deaconess Hospital Surgical Weight Loss Center in Cincinnati. "But for every bad gastric bypass story, there are 1,000 good ones."

 

"Weight loss is much slower than with gastric bypass, but after five years the results are about the same," says Curry.

 

Trace Curry is the doctor I have an appointment with on Wednesday.
