RESULTS FROM OTHER TREATMENTS

• When the degree of obesity is very high (BMI> 35-40), the patient often gives up on dietetic treatments due to the excessive weight loss needed.
  
  
• In the few cases when the patient accomplishes a significant weight loss, he/she won’t be capable of maintaining it since it requires a very restrictive diet, incompatible with a normal life.
  
  
•  With such high BMI, surgery is the only proven method with long term results.
