i am all for people who are at serious health risks to have gastric bypass surgery but what i am starting to see are people who are overweight using this as a tool to lose weight (just to look good).
case in point: i read an article in a magazine about this woman who was about 210 pounds. she was unhappy with her weight and after many failed attempts at fad diets she was looking for something else to help get rid of the weight. well she was informed about the surgery BUT you have to weigh at least 240lbs to be eligible for the procedure. so this woman gained 30 pounds so she could have the surgery.
this is so sad. i mean she could have lost weight by eating right and exercising but instead she decided to take the easy way out. i've been reading though that people who've had the procedures a couple of years ago can gain weight back, up to half of what they lost, especially if they dont continue to eat healthy and exercise
