As i said in my previous article, dieting is losing it’s popularity by a huge rate, but now i saw a report that is very strange. Even thou dieting is not so popular anymore, obesity surgery has had a big increase rate.

Here are some numbers i got from the report:

*En 1998 770 had obesity surgery.
*En 2004 more then 15,000 had obesity surgery.

That is one of the biggest increases i have ever seen. The age of people who had this surgery also moved considerably. Does who had the operation were patients aged 18-55 and more then 300 teenagers aged 12 and 17.

I im very surprised that teenagers are permitted to have such serious operations, i always though they had to be 18.

The majority of the people who had bariatric surgery were women. The weird part is that man had a higher death rate then women.
