Forthosewhoconsiderweightlosssurgery,theyareattheendoftheirropes.Traditionalmethodsofdietandexercisehavehadnoeffect,andthisprocedureisalastresort.Butbynomeansistheleapfromthinkingaboutweightlosssurgerytotheoperatingtableashortone.

"Peopleneedtobeaware,ingreatdetail,oftheriskandbenefitsofweightlosssurgerysotheyunderstandwhatitisallabout,"saysHarveyJ.Sugerman,presidentoftheAmericanSocietyforBariatricSurgery."Theprocedureisnotwithoutrisk,andthereisagreatdealofanxietythatcomeswithit,soittakesconsiderablepreparation."

Fromcheckingoninsurancecoveragetopsychologicalexamstosupportgroups,preparingforthislife-changingproceduretakestime,physicalandmentalreadiness,andmostofall,commitment.

"Fromthetimeapersonfirstthinksabouthavingweightlosssurgery,tothetimetheymakethecommitmenttohaveitdoneistypicallyabouttwoyears,"saysJamesKolenich,abariatricsurgeonattheUniversityofPennsylvaniaMedicalCenter,Horizon."Mostpeopledon'trushintothis,theytalktofamilyandfriends,theytalktothehospital,theygohomeandtheythinkaboutitmore;it'susuallyaverythoughtfulapproach."

Morethan60millionobesepeoplearelivingintheU.S.,accordingtotheAmericanObesityAssociation(AOA),andabout9millionareseverelyobese.Weightlosssurgery,alsocalledbariatricsurgery,canbesuccessfulwhendietandexercisehavefailed,andaperson'shealthisontheline.Overweightisthesecondleadingcauseofpreventabledeath,aftersmoking,intheU.S.,accordingtotheAOA.

"Thefirstthingapersonshoulddoiscontacthisinsurancecompanytolearnifheiscoveredforthesurgery,andheshouldcontacthisprimarycaredoctortofindoutifthereisdocumentationofhisstrugglewithobesity,"saysKolenich."Manyinsurancecompanieswanttoknowthataprimarycaredoctorhastriedtohelpthepatientloseweightwithpsychologicalcounseling,diet,andanexerciseplanforfiveyears,andformanypatients,thisisabigroadblock."

Whilethereareotheroptions,suchaspersonallyfinancingtheprocedure,theyarecostly:TheNationalInstituteofDiabetesandDigestiveandKidneyDiseaseswebsitestatesthatthisprocedurecanrunfrom$20,000to$35,000.

"Whenyou'relookingforasurgeon,askifheorsheisboard-certifiedbytheAmericanBoardofSurgery,"saysKotenich."IsheamemberoftheAmericanSocietyofBariatrieSurgeons?Whatisthemortalityrateofthesurgeon,themorbidityrate,thesuccessrate?"
