Bariatric surgery - pros and cons of different procedures
Aðalsteinn Arnarson discusses the pros and cons.
When an individual has been struggling with overweight and obesity for many years, and has perhaps even developed complications, many people want help with reducing their weight.
Most have tried all kinds of diets and crash courses to lose weight, without success (at least in the long term). Today, the main options being offered are medical treatments or bariatric surgery. So far, surgery has proven to be the most effective treatment, yielding long-term results for most who choose this path.
Here, Aðalsteinn reviews the main procedures performed at Klíníkin and looks at the pros and cons, as well as what results can be expected after surgery.
