Hello Annabelle,
Trying to lose weight is a struggle for many people. The options of lap band surgery and liposuction can work for some, but not everyone is a candidate.
Losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight is more of a change in lifestyle than a trying the latest quick fix diet or trying weight loss pills. Even following liposuction and lap band surgery, a person must make lifestyle changes to keep the weight off.
Thank you for your article and starting the conversation,
