    I’m sure obese people haven’t tried hard enough.

    Even on “My 600 lb Life,” the doctor gets on them hard about actually fixing their eating habits before bothering with surgery.

      That’s because it’s dangerous to have weight loss surgery if you can’t change your behavior even a little.

      The bariatric surgery helps keep them on the right track.

      The diabetic drugs help stop the food cravings in the first place, it appears to be a good option for people who have overwhelming signals from their body to eat.

      Those are two completely different reasons, and medically they should be treated differently.
