Stomach Stapling!

[Lucifer Box]

No responsible surgeon will take on your case. Stapling is for people who demonstrably have failed to lose weight and will die if they don't. You will not even be considered on the basis of being concerned that you might put on weight in the future.

BTW, 1% of people who undergo stomach stapling die as a direct result of the procedure. It is only for the desperate.

Wheat is good.

"I DONT HAVE THE ABILITY TO STOP WEIGHT COMING"

OFFS don't be so pathetic - eat less, excersise more - simple! You said yourself you are just being self-indulgent - no-one will offer you stomach stapling so just carry on eating all the pies and die early of a preventable disease or stop eating all the pies and have a healthy future it's up to you. To be honest I am beginning to wonder if you're a troll - surely no-one can be this self-obssesed. LB have you got another alter ego?

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

What's wrong with yous?!!!!!

Seriously?

OK, for the nth time.......
I LIKE MYSELF NOW. I WOULD LIKE MYSELF IN 2/3 STONES TIME TOO. I DONT MIND BEING LARGE IN THE SLIGHTEST.
THE ONLY REASON I AM THINKNIG OF THE SURGERY IS SO THAT I CAN STOP PUTTING WEIGHT ON.
I AM CONTINUALLY PUTTING WEIGHT ON, AND I WORRY THAT ONE DAY IT'S GOING TO REACH 20 OR 30 STONE.
I DONT HAVE THE ABILITY TO STOP WEIGHT COMING SO, SO I'M LOOKING TO THE FUTURE WITH CONCERN.
IF I COULD STAY THE WEIGHT I AM NOW FOREVER, I WOULD BE HAPPY AS LARRY. ALL MY CLOTHES WOULD ALWAYS FIT, AND I WOULD FEEL CONFORTABLE WITH THE SIZE I AM, RIGHT NOW.

Then surgery is not the answer. Stapling or the use of a gastric band is not a permanent solution. It is used in drastic cases to reduce weight in morbidly obese patients in order to stop them dying from a weight related issue. Once the weight has been shed and the issue avoided the surgery is reversed and ongoing weight control is through good nutrition, excersise and a general healthy lifestyle. This is achieved with help from nutritionists and councelling.

Long term use of stomach reduction techniques can lead to ill health through the bodies inability to absorb sufficient nutrients from the food that is eaten. Take a look at this for more info. Effectivly you are forcing your body into a state of malnutrition in order to induce weight loss. Long term this will make you ill and eventually kill you.

If you want to control your weight long term then nutrition, excercise and lifestyle changes are the only way to do it safely. If you can't manage this on your own then get help. Councelling is not just about helping people who are mentally ill, it is about helping all kind of people cope with the issues they have in their life. Yours just happens to be difficulty in manageing your weight and eating habits.
