[Alert] This Weight Loss Surgery DOESN’T Work!

As you get older, losing weight can seem impossible.
You eat right… exercise daily… and haven’t had carbs in decades but the scale still doesn’t budge.
So, when your mainstream doc tells you about weight loss surgery… it finally gives you hope.
But there’s something he’s not sharing…
You see, one of these radical surgeries can jeopardize your health… and even set you up from some the deadliest disease around.
All of this and you’ll only lose 17 lbs.
Here’s what you need to know.
Until now, there were four main types of weight-loss surgery: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding, and biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch, and gastric balloons.
And all of these are bad. They can lead to nutrient deficiencies and serious health issues.
But the newest type of weight loss surgery is beyond dangerous.
It’s called bariatric embolization. For the procedure, the surgeon takes little balls (microspheres) and injects them into the blood supply leading to your stomach.
The theory behind this surgery is that cutting off the blood supply to your gut you can reduce the appetite-stimulation hormone called ghrelin and that will lead to weight loss.
The only problem? IT DOESN’T WORK!
You see, folks who have this risky surgery lose an average of 17 pounds in a year.
That means you’re risking your health… and your life… for losing LESS than 20 lbs in a year.
And this is especially outrageous when you consider that you can lose that much weight (or more!) without ever stepping into your doctor’s office or having someone cut into you.
All you have to do is get proper sleep, stay hydrated and make sure you’re ditching processed foods.
Do this and I guarantee that you will lose more than 17 pounds in a year.
If you want to lose more try taking berberine. It helps increase fat-burning and balance your blood sugar. You can get berberine from your local pharmacy.
