First of all, you would want to choose one if you are looking for one of the many weight loss surgeries (roux en y gastric bypass, lap band, etc.). The question of why you would choose a specialist in that area over a general surgeon is quite simple--do you want a good outcome and do you want to avoid injury or death? These are complicated surgeries which frequently involve further complications, and a good, specialized surgeon can significantly improve your chance of a positive outcome (one good surgeon's survival rate is more than four times the national average, for example).
