Here's a link to the referenced article at msnbc.com, which discusses a study that shows that people who have bariatric surgery have lower risks for developing certain types of cancer. I thought folks might be interested in this information - happy reading. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25269713/ Kellie

I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, but I know first-hand that it's true. I used to get called back every year for diagnostic tests and biopsies after my mammogram, and for the last couple of years everything has been normal. All those suspicious cells went away. They tell me it's because of the weight loss.
