      We do not (at least with an acceptable sample size), which does make it a bit of a gamble. However, for some people with severe obesity I’d wager the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, with all of the severe issues that can happen because of that level of obesity. If I had to deal with the drastically increased risk of heart disease et al or a yet to be discovered drawback, I’d go with the yet to be discovered one personally.
