my dad asked me how much i thought it would cost to have gastric bypass surgery and had i ever thought about having the surgery...i can't say that it hasn't crossed my mind but, then there are so many things to contemplate...i have a friend who swears by it and she has lost the weight of an entire other person she was carrying around and kept if off for the past bunch of years...here are the problems i see with the whole thing
- i don't think that there is enough research to see the long term effects of this procedure
- i don't want a bunch of flappy skin that is just hanging around because of the speed of the weight loss vs. the amount of exercise done
- i feel like it's a cop-out
- if i only ate 4 bites of food three times a day i would be skinny too
- how do you get enough nutrients in your body?
- what if i can't eat my favorite foods later?
- i like meat and most people can't eat meat after the surgery...i would miss a good steak
does all that sound like me trying to talk myself out of a good idea? i just don't know what to think about this...sure i would like to have a better looking body and more energy...i really like the rest of myself just fine and i don't know if this is just the right way to do this...except i am not getting any younger...i just don't know...anybody got some insight they would like to share???
