www.fertilityplus.org talks about effect of obesity & fertility. www.obesity.org National Institute of health, I don't know the address but you can search for it on any web search. Here's some other places to search National Institute od diabetes and digestive and kidney disease. American Diabetic association. Sorry I couldn't help more

I know there are more but I went to this one last night so you could add it to your list http://www.americanheart.org once there click on Science and Professional once there click on Scientific Statements, scroll down to Obesity there are two papers. You want the 1997 paper 71-0130. Toward the end of the document is good stuff in support of surgery. I will look for more sites in upcoming days. I wish some others would get on here because they have mentioned other sites with helpful stuff.

The National Institutes of Health site is at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/new/press/oberel4f.htm titled First Federal Obesity Clinical Guidelines Released. The American Society for Bariatric Surgery site with title Rationale for the Surgical Treatment of Morbid Obesity is at http://www.asbs.org/html/ration.html
