Weight loss surgery. [Rant] I used to be fat. I was still a "healthy" BMI, but let's face it. I let myself get fat. Almost my whole family is fat so I grew very used to all the fatlogic. (Just wait until your metabolism slows down. All that food will catch up with you. When you have kids you'll see just how hard it is to lose weight. Condishuns.) Anyway, I just started watching some of these My 600 lb Life videos and I recognized the surgeon. He actually did one of the same surgeries on my mother. At the time it was so nonchalant and seemed so simple. "Oh, he just goes on through a tiny hole, cuts some of your stomach out, and closes you up." They would say. Are you fucking kidding me?! Think about that for a second. He is taking out a large portion of your stomach. A vital organ. It boggles my mind that people can be so relaxed about that. The human body is currently the pinnacle of evolution. It works like a machine. Take care of it and (barring any freak accidents or medical problems) it will take care of you. Not only that, but surgery is expeeeeensive. Why would anybody rather spend all that money and risk their life going under the knife when they only have to eat less and move a little more?! I saw my mother go through all that and recovery time. Once you do something this drastic to your body, it is never the same. Your stomach won't magically grow back and make you whole again once you're a normal size. You can lose the weight, but at what cost? Just get off your fucking ass and move around and don't eat so goddamn much!!
