Obesity Seems to Degrade Men's Sex Lives
Obese men undergo significant hormonal changes and experience markedly worse sex lives – but stomach-stapling surgery can correct those troubles, a recent small study showed.
“Previous studies have found that obesity is correlated to lower sperm count and can be associated with infertility, but we wanted to know if obesity was biologically associated with an unsatisfying sex life, and if so, could it be reversible,” the study’s lead author, Ahmad Hammoud, of the University of Utah, said in an Endocrine Society news release. “Our results show that the answer to both questions may be yes.” ( Read more about Obesity Seems to Degrade Men's Sex Lives)

Expert Commentary: Daniel Farkas, M.D. FACS 9/24/2009
As disclosure, I'll preface by saying that my hospital is NOT a center of excellence. This has been an area of interest for the last few years. Not just in bariatric surgery, but in all sorts of specialized surgery, for example pancreas surgery. Most studies will show that high volume centers have better outcomes.

Expert Commentary: Dr. Elliot Goodman M.D. - June 4, 2009
We often hear about the physical causes and effects of obesity, but we rarely hear about the emotional and psychological factors. Today, obesity is no longer diagnosed only during middle age - it's becoming the norm to hear that young people in their 20's are dealing with the disease. Obviously, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the onset of obesity, but what's going on behind the scenes?
We know that overeating is the main cause of obesity, but few know what leads to this increase in food intake. The answer is simple: stress. Many young people today live a hectic lifestyle full of stress and anxiety. To cope with the constant physical and emotional drain, many people turn to one of life's simplest pleasures: food.
