as anything in medicine, there is no panacea. But gastric bypass, with all it's potential problems and complications, is often the only option when you get to a certain BMI.
Because you do not lose weight just from eating less when you get to a certain size and you have other problems.
Gastric bypass doesn't work either. People gain the weight back somehow. Nothing actually works for the super-obese. I took off around 35 pounds 9 years ago and i've kept if off. That is doable. But if you're a 100+ pounds overweight, the situation is hopeless. You can take if off, but you can't keep it off.
of course it does.
it does not work on EVERYBODY, but nothing in medicine works on everybody.
that is what I referred when telling there is no panacea.
do you know what it means?
