Yes, and I agree with you. It is in many cases a last resort… but there are some people that would rather have an invasive surgery than put a lot of hard work and effort into it.
There are also a good number of people that resort to surgery only after they feel that they have tried every other option and no longer feel able to do anything.

Yes, I think that’s why they do it. I used to be fat. Now I’m not. I exercised and ate right. It’s a simple equation.

In most cases yes. If you work hard enough you should be able to lose weight. And it takes people years to put on fat, so why shouldnt it take years to take it off.

One of the sales managers at the dealership where I work had that done a couple of years ago. He is not active, and eats excessively. By nature, he is a big-boned, large man (his brothers and other family members are naturally very large people). But in his case, he was just too lazy to exercise and did not want to change his eating habits. After the surgery, he lost tons of weight, and really looked good. Since he has not exercised or changed his eating habits, he has gained all of the weight back, and has actually gained more so that he weighs more now than he did before he had the surgery. He has no desire to change his lifestyle. The stress from work does not help, and he has a 7 year old son.
Makes me sick.

Yes, it is a dramatic and last resort. Bariatric surgeons screen their patients carefully to determine whether the patient might benefit from trying lifestyle changes before they perform the surgery. Most bariatric surgeons don’t perform gastric bypass surgery on a patient who wants a quick fix for excess fat; the perform the surgery on someone who is morbidly, dangerously obese.
Yes, the health issues after the surgery are dramatic. One of my relatives died several years after her surgery.

I think some people are so tired and depressed by trying to lose weight, if they have the means gastric bypass may seem like the easy way out…and you have to admit the media does little to disuade this perception…and not there are ads for the procedure (Lap Band)….
But I have seen, especially when I travel to the US, some people who are so amazingly obese I understand the need for gastric bypass….But I hope docters understand they should do all in their power to convince patients otherwise because surgery is dangerous. And improving their diet and incorporating exercise is infinitely a better option.
