WLS and Cancer Risk - New Study

Interesting article on our local T.V. news the other night .. WLS makes a BIG difference in not only lowering the risk of cancer but even more so as to increasing the survival rate if you do get it .. btw, that factoid about 42% of Americans now being obese is SCARY ..

I'm certain the numerous benefits of wls, including lowering many risks of diseases caused by obesity, are well worth having the surgery. I'm also convinced we are all at greater risk of various diseases and complications that arise from the imbalance wls creates in all of our bodies. It's still well worth it in my opinion but physical imbalances come with a price, and that may include higher incidents of certain types of cancer and medical issues. I asked my surgeon about this a few years ago and he agreed it's a possibility although there has never been a study on the exact topic.

It's crazy how much of an impact weight loss surgery can have on reducing the risk of obesity-related cancers. And yeah, that obesity statistic is definitely alarming.
