Aries -” They will not do surgery on obese people who refuse to or will not follow a regimen they give them to lose some weight on their own.” Nor should they, but what they are looking at is the commitment more than the weight loss. But, there are a few people who say they will do all the things they are supposed to do after surgery, but don’t. The doc isn’t a policeman.
“Your brain will tell you that you are full but if your emotions block your brain signals and you keep stuffing yourself you will throw up and the fact that you are heaving can cause physical complications to your surgical site, not to mention your esophagus. And then what happens to an emotional eater after they throw up? They will sit down and eat again, throw up again, eat again etc.”
Again, and this is why you need a multi-pronged approach. If they don’t go for therapy and to a dietician, these problems can occur. But these reasons aren’t enough to tell people don’t have the surgery, because most people are at the end of their rope. Sure you’ll find people who get around the system, but that’s not enough to say -No one should go for this surgery!
