My uncle was obese and had gastric bypass surgery a few years ago. since then he has lost over 100lbs and he has not gained any of it back. granted, I am sure that for every success story like my uncle there are those that gain the weight back. but there are ways of avoiding "falling off the wagon." Just like there is AA for alcoholics, there are similar support groups for obese people. along with giving support and guidence to those who suffer from obesity I would think these groups would try to teach people to control what they eat, thus giving them control over their lives. even if people are born with a genetic disposition, there are still ways to improve one's situation.
