Stomach stapling

If all you are severely obese (BMI 40+) stomach stapling may be the only way for you to lose weight. This is considered a surgery of last resort, however.

Stomach stapling, or Gastric Bypass Surgery, works by closing off an area of the gut, so that you feel full quicker, and thus eat less. So if you are significantly obese, or suffer from weight related illnesses such as diabetes or high blood pressure, you might want to discuss this with your doctor.
