Right now, in Seville, stomach reduction operations are being done live. We are in an obesity convention. The pandemic¿say the experts¿of the 21st century. We are entering an operating theatre. According to the president of the Spanish Society of Obesity Surgery, Juan Carlos Ruiz de Adana: "Bariatric surgery is the most powerful tool. If the patient uses it in the sense of eating little and doing physical activity, scientifically it is proven to be the most effective and safest tool"
This is the case for Victoria 10 years ago she had this operation: "I weighed 164 kilos. Then, I couldn¿t walk well, nor was I at ease because I could not sit in places where others go". Her life has taken a 180-degree turn. The key¿she assures¿is in being re-educated".
Obesity, say doctors, already affects half of the Spanish population. Obesity, at 20%. And the figure¿they warn¿is increasing.
