Is surgical treatment for obesity a good and effective treatment for preventing the life-threatening complications and serious degenerative problems associated with pathological obesity? Do drug and medical device companies cash in to unprecedented degrees? Will overweight- and obesity-attributable spending continue to increase and government will continue to finance a sizable portion?
