I am a 32 year old male 5' 6" tall and 295lbs, Should I pursue any type of surgery to lose weight?

Question

I have tried diet and exercise. I do admit to enjoying food a little too much. I havent always been this big. I was a amature body builder in my teens and early 20's.

Answer 1

yea get a heart transplant cuz thats what it takes for a real man to lose it naturally

Answer 2

No, I personally don't think you should pursue weight loss surgery because you may have psychological issues with food and it may have been possible that u use food to cope with your problems. I think it is best you see a registered dietitian and start a workout routine. Maybe you can start by walking after dinner for 15 min everyday. Then increase your workouts. Also, since you were a body builder, I think if you change your mind set, you may be able to change your health and physical appearance.

Answer 3

no way, man. Not at 295. I know a guy who lost 81 lbs in 6 months by dieting and hiking.

295 is not that big. Some football players weigh that much.

Answer 4

well is it fat or muscle? and personally i think surgery can screw you up even more, so do it the normal way, diet and excersize. remember to lose weight y ou have to burn more calories that you take in. So lose weight the regualr way, and if you get to 300 lbs i think u can actually get disability and you wont have to work lol. but yeah LOSE weight and GAIN muscle dawg

Answer 5

diet and exercise works for everybody. you just haven't been consuming enough healthy foods or getting regular high intensity exercise.

Answer 6

try a nutritionist. i would recommend surgery be the last thing you do it can really harm your insides.

Answer 7

diet, exercise
