What's the consensus on weight loss surgery Jow Forums...

Its been extremely difficult to get to this point, and every day is a struggle. With the procedure I won't have to worry about being hungry again

So. OP. You lost 70lbs to get a surgery to...lose weight?

Here's what the don't tell you about. You never feel satisfied with your meals. You feel like vomiting all the time.

Go over to youtube and watch Dr. Benjamin Bikman's videos. He's out of BYU and his shit is amazing. Combine his dietary suggestions with a smattering of IF. And a single day of total fasting per week and the fat will melt right off you. Take it a step further and go OMAD on top of that and you'll get tired of buying new pants every other week.

The dude I'm currently helping lose weight started at 525lbs. He sits in an office chair all day long and drank nothing but mountain dew. He was not a candidate for weight loss surgery because his liver was so large. One of the worst cases of NAFLD they had seen. This is the reason he finally decided to get his shit together because his coworkers convinced him to go to the doctor because his eyes were getting jaundiced.

I put him on OMAD. Told him he can have whatever size steak or cut of meat he wanted for dinner. If he wanted to eat a 32oz steak, fucking go for it. Told him he could eat any amount of frozen or fresh vegetables he wanted with his meat. If he wanted to eat a large baked potato and two lbs of broccolli with his 2lb steak, then all the more power to him. He is not allowed to eat anything pre-made or processed, no grain, nothing with sugar or sweeteners, and no dairy except for cheese occassionally. Whatever he eats he is only allowed to eat in a single meal. He is only allowed plain coffee and tea, and water to drink. No artficially flavored and sweetened waters either.

He's lost 75lbs since November 1st. His blood sugar is back to normal, he was an undiagnosed diabetic, his fasting insulin has gone from 38 to 19 (still way to high IMO despite being 'normal' range). He followed up with the specialist Jan 3rd. His liver is normal sized, and his enzymes low normal. He's decided against the surgery.

Surgery is cheating, the easy way out, it should never be done

And the best part of the whole thing? Without any encouragement from me whatsoever he started going for walks around the apartment he lives at. He started parking two buildings away on the other side so he has to walk further and climb a flight of stairs. He parks in the furthest corner of the parking lot at work, and has thrown away his handicap parking pass.

He tells me he wakes up now when the alarm goes off the first time. He's sleeping better. He has more energy. And his eating habits have self regulated. I've checked on his meals he's making and he's getting between 1200-1400 cals a day. Because "that's all I feel like eating"

When he started off he was eating A LOT in that single meal and he definitely took me up on the eat as much as you want rule.

its really fucking dumb todo this
why cut a part of your body out, you can shrink your stomach yourself without expensive surgery, and all you need to do is STOP EATING.

your gut is your second brain, why would you fucking choose to get a lobectomy?

fucking retards I swear.

There need to be more Jow Forumsizen doctors. You were a godsend for this man, user

to add to this I know some people who got surgery and they have to be careful what they eat and whatnot.

if you're happy being overweight for the rest of your life then cool

>not happy with body
>better go get an organ mutilated
Literally tranny-tier
Put down the fucking fork
All you have to do is not do anything you coward

If only this was true and not pasta

Peak western decadence, you're still a weak fuck and it honestly makes me sick.

not eating and buying less food is much cheaper and less invasive user

>Gastric Sleeve
literally torturing yourself and risking death

People don’t need surgery to fix the size of their stomach, the size of their stomach isn’t the problem. Their problem is they have a goldfish-sized brain that tells them to eat until they pop. Giving someone with a goldfish-sized brain a goldfish-sized stomach will just make them pop that much faster.

Eating is an addiction for some people though, they need the surgery to get past that

No, they don't.

Lol. Recidivism rates are over 60% for weight loss surgery patients.

Surgeons want to cut. They make millions and make more money with more patients.

>associating with people dumb enough to get this surgery

Gross

OH NO NO NO NO NO

No they don't you weak willed faggot

If you can lose 70 pounds without it you can lose the rest without it OP. Trust me it sounds like fucking hell instead of just naturally losing the weight.

get the procedure its so much easier and you will lose twice the weight

dont listen to these ignorants who say "YOU SHOULD LOSE IT NATURALLY"

as they snort caffeine and preworkouts and creatine and ephedrine and put DNP supposetories up their assholes

they are all fake lying frauds who do steroids and do anything they can to lose weight

they are lying to themselves that they are any different from us who get the surgery

literally the people telling you no are RIGHT NOW taking creatine and BCAAs and googling BEST FAT BURNER

they are all frauds

What a fucking cop out.

>Junior surgical doctor here

Just eat less you stupid cunt. holy shit. do yourself a favour. or pay thousands to have one of us cut you open, and then predispose you to surgical complications, bowel adhesions, bowel obstruction, hernias, infection, etc

you realise your hunger will return post-op anyway. deal with hunger you fat fucking shit.

Most fatfucks don't ever learn the habits for a healthy lifestyle after getting surgery. because they're retarded. and it makes me mad seeing their fat fucking faces on the ward round everyday.

this

fatties should all just kill themsevles desu

projecting faggot cunt

good job dude, spend thousands of dollars instead of dropping cheetos off your diet

It's not a stomach problem, you probably have bad bacteria in your gut that makes you fat.
For the same food, people with bad bacteria get obese when people with good bacteria don't.
Look that up
