Would It Be a Good Business to Set Up a Center Where Obese People Can Stay and Lose Weight?

Question by Caren: Would it be a good business to set up a center where obese people can stay and lose weight?
There must not be any of those. I’m watching a show called my life over 600 pounds,, and these people go through surgery,, (the learning channel at night)
it would be better if at least they could go to a center that limits food and requires individual excersise.
before the surgery,,, they are at home, with family giving them fattening food.

there must not be any such centers anywhere in the states
but yet, there are centers for drug rehab that you can stay for months at a time.
one lady had that surgery and stayed 3 months in a hospital (why not have centers)?
why not put them in a center for 3 months to teach them how to eat right and lose weight?
just like a drug rehab place,,, makes sense

Answer by Eric
Yes, I watch that show also, and I had the same thought. They are in the wrong environment to try to lose weight. Places like you are proposing do already exist though, do a Google search for:
Fat Farm
Fat Camp
Weight loss retreats

Studies show that just like with regular diets, people going to those places don’t usually keep the weight off. But, at 600 lbs, it is certainly better to try it than not at all, since people at that weight are at a very high risk of dying.

As a business, the problem is that I would guess (based on watching the TV show) the that most of the people who weigh 600 pounds could not afford to go to a place like that. If their insurance would pay, that is a different story. I have no idea about what is covered and what is not. Getting business liability insurance would be another big concern, since if somebody died at your “fat farm”, you could get sued.

What do you think? Answer below!
