It still comes back to diet and exercise. Bariatric surgery can be over-ridden with high-calorie foods like milk shakes.
[For those unfamiliar, “WLS” means “weight loss surgery.”

Everyone outside of the WLS community thinks it’s an “easy” way out, but you still have to work just as hard to maintain it!

Seeing the unhealthy eating in my own family led me to create raw happiness – raw, no salt, no sugar added trail mixes and snacks. So yummy, yet really healthy and filling!

What most people don’t know is that after surgery you still have to exercise and watch what you eat. Comparing all the different weight-loss methods, bariatric surgery is overall the most effective approach to morbid obesity.

I’ve always scoffed at those who get those surgeries. I will now rethink my opinion.

Cheers and thanks
