Bariatric Surgery Makes Celebrity Headlines, but it is Available to All

Share this news:

Though celebrity weight loss surgeries get attention, bariatric surgery helps individuals, couples, and families.

Headlines highlight celebrities who have amazing results from weight loss surgeries. Reality TV stars, politicians, and even celebrity chefs show amazing results, “But,” say Dr. Tom Umbach of Blossom Bariatrics, “many people are intimidated by such visible successes. Some people think ‘It’s for the rich and famous.’ That thinking could not be further from the truth; bariatric surgery can help anyone.”

In the June 18, 2013 edition of US News and World Report, Rachel Pomerance Berl reports in her article, “Weight-Loss Surgery: A Cure for the Morbidly Obese?” that “weight-loss surgeries can provide a life-saving option for people suffering from severe complications that can stem from obesity. However, the surgeries are rather rare, especially for men. Women comprise about 80 percent of weight-loss surgery patients, and men typically opt for surgery only after their weight has led to serious health conditions, say experts in the field.”

This was true for Katie R. when she decided to have bariatric surgery at Blossom Bariatrics in Las Vegas, Nevada. She explains, “My husband actually jumped on the bandwagon with me and decided that we needed to pursue a more healthy lifestyle--not just for ourselves, but for our children.” Their mutual decision has resulted in a combined weight loss of nearly 200 lbs. in approximately 3 months. “[T]his whole experience that we've had has been a complete family life-changer.”
