The following image compares an overweight 250 lbs woman on the left and a woman of average weight of 120 lbs on the right. We normally associate weight with our outward appearance, but we rarely think about what it looks like, and how that weight affects us on the inside of our bodies. If you look closely, you can see fat compressing the internal organs, joints, enlarging the heart, and putting strain on the internal skeletal system. You can even observe fat surrounding the brain.
We encourage those of you considering weight loss surgery to do it for your overall health and well-being. Losing weight can not only help you look better, but can improve how your body functions, improve your quality of life, and extend your life.
