Weight Loss Surgery?

[Becca]

Ok, well my step mum is pretty big, but after she had her son she could never lose her bump. She wants to have surgery now to take it away but I don't know if it'll harm her, or it might end badly.

Does anyone know what will happen after etc?

Would it not make sense to consult a surgeon instead of a bunch of teenagers on a forum who have at most a few Biology GCSEs between them.

Yeah, as Jordy said, best to ask a surgeon or even just your local GP. But yeah, I think there occasionally are risks with those types of procedures, so make sure she knows everything about it before she goes through with it.

She should seriously try losing weight first. If she's depressed about it should could get it free on the NHS

[Stryderman]

Weightwatchers, Slimfast, stuff like tht exorcise. Only resort to surgery if that is her only option she cant just be lazy

Yeh, it could end badly... The fattest woman of the year died just the other year, I watched it on tele...
She had liprosuction whatever it is, and she died.

I doubt you'll take mind of any of this advice, but she basically needs to mop up her diet, exercise the way we were designed to exercise and the surgery will not be necessary.

That means cutting out carbohydrates in general, at least get them down to low levels, (talking a max of 50-70g per day). The worst offenders are: Caffeine, Vegetable oils (or any polyunsaturated fats besides some fish/cod liver/krill oil which are good) Fructose and pretty much Grains/Flour products in general. Start eating foods with a high nutrient density, e.g Cod Liver oil (only pure without synthetic vitamins added), Liver, Kidneys, most offal, fatty cuts of meat like full fat beef/lamb mince, shoulder etc. Lots of fatty red meats. Dairy, plenty of single or double cream to add fat, full fat milk and cheese to add calcium, don't bother with uncultured yoghurt. Eggs will become a staple of the diet scramble 4 at a time, I commonly have 7 or 8 per day. They are full of vits and minerals, and AA and DHA and a variety of other substances that are great for health. Non-starchy vegetables can be eaten (no potatoes), fruit should be kept to a minimum, avoid excess alcohol (maybe a couple of pints per week, a once in a while getting smashed won't hurt but by now she should be mature enough not to) nuts are ok provided they don't have high amounts of polyunsaturates, machadamia are the best (and most expensive). Cook with Butter, Lard, Cocnut oil or any other very highly saturated fat which is the only fat that is truly stable under heat.

Exercise should be plenty of gentle walking, and when she has lost more weight and her cardiovascular health has improved she can do the only other type of exercise that we have evolved to do, short intense bursts of exercise, a few times a week (3 or so) on non consecutive days. This means sprinting for a minute, then walking/resting, then sprinting for a minute, then resting - done until you have done up to 7-8 minutes or so of sprinting. Or, ideally she could start compound weightlifting.

Hello Friends.....

Many people with excessive weight problems are turning to obesity surgery or weight loss surgery. It is fast becoming a popular option when other weight loss methods, such as diet, exercise and supplementation has failed. Failure of these methods means that a person is unable to maintain a healthy weight and in many cases, the weight is regained. And, excessive weight, if not dealt with can lead to long term health problems such as cancer, heart disease or strokes.

Thanks

She should have a exercise routine which she strictly follows and a balanced planned out diet that she has daily...like regular breakfast (something healthy) etc
