According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 70% of U.S. adults are obese or overweight. Dr. Christopher Daigle, a bariatric surgeon with Cleveland Clinic Akron General, joined Hollie & Alexa to talk more about this topic.
Here are the questions Hollie & Alexa had for Dr. Daigle:
- What are the health risks of being overweight?
- Why should someone consider having weight-loss surgery?
- Who is a candidate for bariatric surgery?
- How does bariatric surgery help chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure?
- How much weight loss can be expected?
- What kind of lifestyle changes need to happen after surgery?
