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

What do you mean, “there must not be any such centers”? Sure there are. They may not be very successful at keeping people thin for very long after they leave, but they exist, and some are very profitable. However, to go to them, people generally have to be financially well-off, because most insurance explicitly excludes weight loss treatment.

If you base your idea of what the market is like on “reality” TV shows, then you are not ready to own a business.
