Calvin is starting cognitive-behavioral treatment to treat his binge-eating disorder. His brother, Li, tells Calvin that he believes gastric bypass surgery would be more helpful and faster than psychotherapy. Why would this approach NOT be recommended?
a. Most people who have binge-eating disorder are not actually obese.
b. Losing weight after engaging in dangerous eating behavior would reinforce those eating habits in the individual.
c. Surgery does not teach the person how to effectively manage overall health and is "cheating."
d. It does not address the underlying cognitive issues that compel someone to binge eat.
