I have gastroparesis and it's awful. It's not a good way to lose weight. I cannot believe people would willingly do this to themselves.

Hint: weight loss is incredibly hard to borderline impossible and many people are ready to do things that might kill or cripple them just to stop people from making fun of them, and none of this is an "easy way" anymore than any other treatment.

Weight loss is not incredibly hard to borderline impossible, but for a lot of people, the accompanied will power to stick with it, apparently is. Some of the problem is, most want immediate results (with weight loss there are none) and aren't willing to put the true time and effort over the long haul, which can be over the course of a lifetime.

Wait loss might be hard, but it's very simple. Most people just don't have the willpower or discipline to stick it trough.

Lol weight loss is so simple anyone can do it. Literally eat less, eat better macros, and at least light activity (walking every other day at least 30 mins). There's more to it for people's individual needs of course, but weight loss is easy...doing it right so you don't ruin your health though, is another thing. I was borderline anorexic for awhile because I took it too far, if anything it was harder to gain back muscle/essential fat after going too low. Having a healthy weight is good and all, but don't ignore actual health while doing it like I have sometimes, though I never would have agreed to plastic surgery solutions like this. Some stomach procedures (lap band?) can actually be very effective for some people.

Angry people down voting because they are fat and lazy I love it

Walking 30 minutes a day does not in fact make you lose weight. And neither does having good macros.

But eating less does.

The walking is for general health and the macros are better quality food over lower quality foods... Again, for your over all health.

Eating less does yes, it's just that that is really damn hard to the point people cut out half their stomachs just so they can eat less.

It can be hard. I'm doing it now. Down 13kg and 10 to go... But I still enjoy food and I'm proud of my progress... The hard work pays off

I’m very happy for you and I hope you keep it off. Truly. If it was easy, however, it wouldn’t be such a big issue. It is incredibly difficult to lose weight and keep it off. I speak from experience. I lost 60 lb, put it back on, and lost it again. I haven’t gained weight again now, but it is a constant struggle.

Losing weight is dead simple - cal. in < cal. out - but is damn hard!!

Same. Effective? I guess. If you don't mind nausea, GERD, bloating, stomach always aching from food not digesting...

I had gastric bypass, I can confidently say I preferred all of that and the surgery risks and the recovery period to the weight. A lot of people do.

I can understand weighing the risks of possible vagus nerve complications in a bypass procedure. Botulism, not so much
