Surgical treatment is medically necessary because it is the only proven method of achieving long term weight control for the morbidly obese

 

•Non-operative methods alone have not been effective in achieving a medically significant long term weight loss in severely obese adults.

 

•A majority of patients regain all the weight lost over the next 5 years.

 

•A 4 year study utilizing 2 drugs, behavior modification, diet, and exercise resulted in an average weight loss of 3 pounds (Weintraub in Clin. Pharmacol. Ther. 1992)

 

•Temporary fluctuations of body weight (yo-yo ing) are worse than stable morbid obesity
