Are there alternatives to surgery?

I registered my brother Gerald with this site to get more information on surgery as well as moral support. Since I've been viewing the questions and responses I have grown fearful for his safety. I haven't really looked into any of the surgerie that are available. I wanted to get some feedback before I pursued the issue. I read responses ranging from lifestyle changes to reversing a surgery. My brother is only 21 years old and I am afraid that he won't be able to adjust to any drastic changes in his lifestyle. Because is young, are there alternatives to surgery for somone his age. Are there any diets or programs out there that he could do to help him get the weight down? Where can I get more information on the details of what surgery entails? Thanks for the information.
