		<description><![CDATA[Answering the question: Who should have surgery for sleep apnea?

		<description><![CDATA["Recent data on the long-term effectiveness of bariatric surgery on BMI suggest that, for most patients, BMI will be maintained substantially below preoperative levels, though some patients regain weigh and relapse toward morbid obesity," the authors conclude. This subgroup may carry genetic susceptibilities to obesity that overcome the effects of bypass surgery.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2008/health/surgery-health/two-genetic-twists-common-in-high-bmi-patients/' addthis:title='Two genetic differences common in high-BMI bariatric surgery patients '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>
