Many people have questions about weight-loss surgery. Does it work? How does it work? Is it a cop out? How hard is it after surgery? Your answers will be answered in a live web chat with Dr. Robert Quaid, Medical Director and surgeon at the Bariatric Center of the Rockies, Michelle Carpenter, Certified Bariatric Nurse and Patient Navigator and Ruth Eller, a patient who lost 175 pounds following surgery who has gone on to compete in triathlons and have a baby.
