We are often asked by older members of our bariatric community if WLS is the right decision at mature ages. So we weight straight to an expert, Dr. Jor Cribbins, the Director of the Texas Center for Bariatrics and Advanced Surgery! Dr. Cribbibns has performed thousands of bariatric surgeries and works tirelessly to ensure his patients find success after their bariatric procedure. We wanted to know if -age- impacts a person's ability to undergo bariatric surgery and if it impacts their rate of success after surgery? His responses BLEW OUR MINDS! If you are wondering if WLS is right for you, this episode will leave you optimistic and hopeful!
