Americans now consider obesity to be the country's biggest health threat.
A new study of 1,500 adults shows 81-percent of people ranked obesity as the most serious health problem, tying with cancer and ahead of heart disease.
Roughly 1/3 of obese people say they have never spoken to a doctor about their weight.
88-percent of people think diet and exercise is the safest way to lose weight, but 68-percent feel that bariatric surgery may be less risky than living with obesity.
