Welcome to the Bariatric Learning Center. We publish independent, unbiased news about the bariatric weight-loss surgery.
As the number of bariatric surgeries increases each year, bariatric surgeons become more competitive … and creative. I just stumbled across a video on YouTube from a surgeon who provides Lap-Band surgery in Mexico. Then I noticed that several more weight loss surgery centers are doing the same thing, creating commercials / infomercials to promote their centers.
I cannot fault these advertisers. After all, you have to get the word out somehow. But I worry that weight loss surgery might become glamorized in the future, with sleek brochures and ads, celebrity testimonials, etc.
If you are considering bariatric weight loss surgery, it’s absolutely essential that you get all the facts and look at the big picture. That’s the entire purpose of this website — to present you with all sides of the story, the pros and cons, the benefits vs. risks, etc.
Our weight loss surgery quiz is a great place to start with such research!
