\""Approximately 65% of our population is overweight and 12% are morbidly obese. This is despite more than 25 years of attempted medical management. Clearly all current efforts have failed to control this enormous problem. Could it be that we have failed to recognize the cause of the disease and therefore have misdirected our efforts?\"" \u2014 Alfredo Fernandez, MD, FASMBS, Surgeon, Tampa, Florida
