Dr. Liu:
Hi, I am Dr. Carson Liu. I am a bariatric surgeon, and I’d be happy to answer any of your questions. If you would like to make an appointment for a free seminar, please contact my office and we would be happy to accommodate your schedule.

I don’t think anybody wants to become obese. I think in general as a society two-thirds of Americans are overweight. It’s a combination of genetics and our environment. We are clearly more sedentary, and we are eating higher calorie, richer foods that are causing obesity.
