Nana Gletsu-Miller, Assistant Professor, Department of Nutrition Science
Bariatric surgery has become a popular weight-loss option with more than 200,000 surgeries performed in the U.S. in 2011.
"There are not many other proven programs for people who have 100 or more pounds to lose," stated Nana Gletsu-Miller, assistant professor of nutrition science. "And the surgery works. In a month people lose about 10 percent of their body weight and 25 percent over six months. It takes one to two years to realize normal body weight."
