Subject: This is you restraining yourself? LOL. You´re right, though. This youth obsession is appalling. I once read an interview with a plastic surgeon based in LA. There are different forms of breast implants (round and more shaped like a pear, to give it a more natural look). He said, most of his customers wanted the round implants -they wanted them to look fake. WTH?????? As for the gastric bypass, I´ve seen some great successes with it, so I´m more positive towards this. Inside...

Once people reach a certain weight (and you´re right, they should have done something about it way before that point), it´s extremely hard to lose weight, the metabolism is way down, exercise is nearly impossible because all that weight puts such a huge strain on the body. Yet, for these people, it is vital to lose that weight and lose it fast. So yes, I thing gastric bypass is a viable option in these cases. It´s still a huge risk - putting a body already that strained under general anaesthesia has many risks. But it might just be the lesser of two evils. And they still need to learn and change a lot about their lifestyle. They can´t go on as they did before. I´ve had a coworker who was that huge, and, with the help of GB surgery, lost that weight. He used to drink more coke in a day than I ever could in week (and that´s saying something, I love coke, I can drink a lot of it) and he carried around this big bucket (a gallon or even more) that used to be his daily dose of coke. He now only drinks water or unsweetened tea, but he carried around that bucket to remind himself and oftentimes obese patients, about those much needed changes.
What I find appaling is the way gastric bypass is advertised as if it was just some sort of fasionable diet. Lose weight without any effort, get the lab band! Urgh, that makes me shudder. And it discredits the entire procedure and makes it harder for those who really would benefit from it to get access to it.
