If you are afraid of surgery, and I don't blame you, you surely don't want their kind of advice. As usual the obese person is probably more at risk during surgery anyway than an already skinny person. I think you are supposed to rest up, quit smoking and take some vitamins before the surgery, these measures probably make the threat of dying next to nil, but it is painful, and a fat person may be prone to infections after surgery, prior to slimming down. It depends on the person if they would rather do it. Articles from the New York Times are pretty influential.

It reminded me of a Star Trek movie. In the movie Insurrection there were a
group of people that lived on a planet that let them basically live forever.
Where they lived and how they lived made the difference. Then there was a
group of people that wanted to live forever and used technology to live as
long as possible. They had machines to stretch the skin and make you look
younger – but on the side – they were still just the old rotting bad guys.

Outside looks mean very very little if the inside in not changing. I'll just
take some good old fashioned discipline and weight loss.

I have seen a few people that I knew previously and then after they had a surgery- sure they were smaller and thinner, but i couldn't help but think that they looked sick, thinner hair, bad complexion, sallow, etc. there is one thing about being slim, but a totally malnourished slim, no thank you. You can even tell when people are on 'diets' and losing weight compared to people using Isagenix. It's lifestyle not your old deprivation 'diet'. I just can't believe it is so pushed as the accepted alternative- go get surgery. anyway i could go on:) i totally agree that a lifestyle change is for the better.

The easiest weight I have ever lost has been over the last 4 months and what
I am doing now can be done forever. I do not have to rely on a surgery and
hope that you develop the right habits later. But realistically – if you

Invasive surgery vs lifestyle change . . . I don't have to wonder which will win out over the long term. I agree. Invasive surgery vs lifestyle change . . .
