Gastric bypasses are dangerous and totally unnecessary. You need to learn what to do about your weight. The very thing that is causing you to gain weight will still be there after a gastric bypass. Your life is being shortened and the bypass will just accelerate the death march.
Seek out a Certified Nutritional Therapist to help you. That is the best answer. If you rely on doctors that have no clue about nutrition to make these decisions, you will be making a grave mistake.
good luck to you

you may b over weight but if you really wanted to take things to that level you would almost certainly have to go private, because u are not the weight of a person near death . . . . hope this helps but i would recommend you keep ur running and things like that up but hey some people are just big u may have a slow mertabalism check all your options before going for surgery.

Really if the wt is affecting your health you should consult with a doctor bypass is not a bad thing and if your health is at risk it could add years! Do a lot of research first and keep up the good work!

One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! – it’s just pills, but you’ll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to and order you free trial, also you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling. Good luck!

You are a candidate for gastric bypass, but you may need to look at other options first.

Weight loss surgery-like gastric bypass have become very common and very safe now. My cousin got her Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in India. She has lost more than 65 lbs in 5 months and is very happy with the results. The price for obesity surgery is very less in India. My cousin just paid 25% of the cost she was quoted in America. She got her surgery from a company called Forerunners Healthcare.
Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as Bariatric surgery and weight loss surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your Obesity surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
Hope this helps.
