THURSDAY, April 7 (HealthDay News) -- Silke Zeigler was fed up with “yo-yo” dieting in her struggle to maintain a healthy weight. “The first realization was that diets didn’t work and actually made things worse, as after finishing the diet I put the weight I’d lost back on,” said Zeigler, 26, a taxi driver from the Wurzburg region of Germany. “So, I researched surgical options such as gastric bypass surgery or gastric banding. But, ironically, for these operations I wasn’t overweight enough.”
