Poor girl is always blaming her massive physique on previous medical conditions. Now she wants gastric bypass. How do I explain to her that stapling is very dangerous and all she needs to do is put down the shovel? Please help.

First off change your attitude. A SHOVEL? How obnoxious er I mean caring of her friend. A real concern I see.

I can relate on being overweight. When you see an amazing female figure smaller and toner than you are some people get jealous and some say I am going on a diet starting today. The to do is to stop depending on medical surgery for temporary fix. God for bides that does not work. Now she's stuck with thousands of dollars for medical bills. It's best to just go to the gym, which is cheaper, and get a personal trainer, Not only by her doing it right she will boost up her self esteem by seeing results from her own accomplishments. I know how it fees. The only time I would let knife cut me is probably if I am giving birth and there's a complications, which I pray to God it does not happen. Ask your friend is it that serious to get cut open and have a massive scar from one part of her stomach to another? I rather stretch marks than a big smile on my stomach that cannot go away. Tell her or him to try the gym and be dedicated and she will be better off than that a quick fix.

I'm sure the doctor doing the stapling could explain this better than a lay person

Gastric Bypass Surgery/gastrectomy/lapband (all types of weight loss surgery) is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.
I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your lobesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
My cousin got her obesity surgery in India throught the forerunners healthcare .SHe is more than very happy with the results.She has lost 55lbs in 5 months.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.hope this helps

well it would be a hard thing to try to get her to change her mind on that. but you have to realize that a lot of times the reason for people being fat really is medical conditions. i am personally only 100 pounds, but i know that things even as simple as high blood pressure and diabetes causes obesity; not just what someone eats.
