This is a new one to me. I've heard over 30 BMI, but not just 30 pounds over weight.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I'm personally skeptical about the "benefits" of bypass surgery. I keep hearing a lot of reports of people gaining the weight back despite the surgery.

I, of course, would like them to adopt a policy of sponsoring (low-carb) nutrition counselling, behavior modification (it helped me prepare for low-carb), and increased activity.
