a. Death rates without it are higher for morbidly obese adults.
b. About 25 percent of patients will require additional surgery.
c. Such surgery decreases the need for life-changing habits.
d. The surgery causes dramatic weight loss.

Answer 1

The statement that is FALSE about gastric bypass surgery in obese adults is that such surgery decreases the need for life-changing habits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is FALSE about gastric bypass surgery in obese adults is c. Such surgery decreases the need for life-changing habits. Gastric bypass surgery can help with weight loss, but it does not eliminate the need for life-changing habits such as adopting a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity. The surgery can lead to dramatic weight loss (option d), reduce death rates for morbidly obese adults (option a), and it is possible that about 25 percent of patients may require additional surgery (option b).
