He weighs about 475. I know, big boy... Regardless, he saw a surgeon for gastric bypass surgery. The surgeon says that he wanted him to lose weight before the operation. They want him to get under 400lbs. My fathers blood pressure is perfect and always has been. His pulse and vitals are all normal.Here is my questions, 1st, he is too big for excersize, and the normal eat right and walk does not fit him. Now I have heard of many patients that where well over my dad's weight having the gastric bypass done. Not to mention the guy ahead of him weighed over 700lbs and had the bypass done. So why would they want my Dad to lose weight on his own? Should I try to find another surgeon? His insurance would cover everything so that is not a problem, his health is great besides the weight. I just do not get it? He needs it desperately. Any help would be great.
