Key words here being threatening their health. How immediate it the threat? Are you so overweight that you can't get up off your chair without gasping for air? Or is your BMI 28...and you are perfectly capable of doing something about it yourself? I just plain don't understand putting people at a greater risk than their weight is posing for a 1 in 200 chance at death on the table!!! (for the bypass)
