A Cure For Obesity!
‘At present around 6,000 people receive the surgery each year but guidelines from the National Institute of Clinical Excellence say the number should be 60,000.’
According to this article on gastric bypass surgery, not enough people are having this ‘life-saving’ operation.
What I have never understood about this type of surgery is simply this; if you are overweight, why not just go on a diet? According to Wikipedia; ’A sensible weight-loss diet is a normal balanced diet; it just comes with smaller portions and perhaps some substitutions (e.g. low-fat milk, or less salad dressing).’
This unfashionable method has four huge advantages over surgery.
1. There is zero chance of it killing you in the operating theatre.
2. It is 100% guaranteed to work.
3. It does not involve having lumps of your body removed with a knife.
4. It does not cost 12.000€. It’s free.
And for those who say ‘I can’t lose weight by dieting, I’m fat due to a medical condition.’
Really? There are no fat people in Ethiopia, and there were no fat survivors of the concentration camps. So why are you so different?
Eat less = lose weight. Simple.
