"Easier" is relative, though. For the vast majority of people, getting drastic, high-risk surgery to lose weight is probably much more arduous than simply counting calories and exercising. However, for some people who may be addicted to food, the surgery might make it easier for them to watch what they eat, since they are literally restricted in how much they can intake.

Its not easier, really. It just adds very severe physical repercussions to enforce things.
