I am sure Kizzy will get to America

Arista there are these amazing things called tellyboxes... You can see what it is like to visit other countries without actually going.
I'm aware that not every single American is obese...haha.
If they were given the opportunity to have one I think most would take it. Even if say 2 thirds maintain a healthy weight due to this it will have a great impact on the US socially and economically.
It does need to be used with education to help them make healthy choices for themselves and their families in the future.
And if they have food issues then that may be easier to address post op, as those who still feel the need to gorge can be identified easier.
