It is definitely true that when it comes to weight loss, you want to go through a painless but efficient procedure and that’s why weight loss supplements are that important. More so when the other alternative is surgery. If you surf the web, you will find 4 types of risky and painful surgeries for weight loss.

In Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VGB), the stomach is clipped into 2 parts and the upper part is made really small so that it reduces space for food which is passed into the lower part through a tiny hole and a band is put to stop the hole from stretching.
RISKS: The band could wear off or the staple line could breakdown or juices could leak causing infection or death.

Laparoscopic Gastric Banding (Lap-Band) is intended for people who are only 100lbs overweight and it works with a band around the upper part of the stomach. The band can be altered but it is permanent.
RISKS: Nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, band slippage and enlargement of the pouch.

In Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RGB), the stomach smaller by stapling it and creating a smaller pouch which is attached to the small intestine to limit the food intake and the nutrients absorbed into it.
RISKS: Nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, diarrhoea, infection, leaking, pulmonary embolism, gall stones, nutritional deficiency and ‘Dumping syndrome’, where food moves fast through the intestine.

Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) is a rarely used and risky surgery where a large part of the stomach is removed and a small pouch is connected to the small intestine and a common channel is used to allow bile and pancreatic juices to mix with the food.
RISKS: nutritional deficiencies.

There are other risk free natural methods available and hence the surgeries can be avoided. But there are equally risky pills that could be very unpleasant like Alli, Reductil and Xenical to name a few and they can be used only for a short period. That is where Practol™, a natural suppressant can help you lose weight easily. It is 100% organic and suppresses your appetite and absolutely risk free. It is also highly recommended by the media and has been featured in many journals and has recently teamed up with YouAndYourWedding, a bridal magazine to offer customers a natural risk free solution and a free trip to Champney spa.

And finally, here's a bit of reading for you! Do you know the real reason why you can't lose weight? It has nothing to do with your will-power, over-eating or the right diet! ... The Reason you are fat and unhealthy is because you have disgusting plaque and horrible little 'CRITTERS' living in your guts!"

Nice hub. I believe the Lapband and RNY procedures you listed as risks are true but they are moreso side effects and not permanent. If it persists longer than usual, then an additional visit is necessary.
