Two new long term studies of 20,000 dangerously overweight people are amazing:

By losing, they gain - The Boston Globe: "Obese patients who had undergone stomach reduction surgery were up to 40 percent more likely to live longer, 56 percent less likely to die of heart disease, and 92 percent less likely to die from diabetes than those who tried diet and exercise alone."

If you're extremely overweight, talk to your doctor about these studies, and ask for his advice.
