Quick Fix

Sep 19, 2009

I don't think people think WLS is a quick fix, I think obese people know that it isn't an easy or quick fix, but we also know that without some sort of drastic intermediary we are likely to die from the repercussions of obesity.

If everyone who got Weight Loss Surgery were perfectly mentally healthy specimens, they wouldn't have gotten weight loss surgery. They would have focused really hard, exercised for 4 hours a day, and ate perfectly healthy to lose the weight instead of getting the surgery.

But that's not what happens. People get the surgery cause they realize they need help. Some people get it to be motivated, or so they can be healthy, or whatever excuse people come up with. The bottom line is they couldn't do it on their own without surgical intervention. That intermediary is called Weight Loss Surgery.

For me, I need intervention, I need something drastic that forces me to change my behavior. It can either be getting my foot chopped off because I have diabetes or it can be someone cutting into me and putting a lap band on my stomach. It could be a trainer coming to my house twice a day, or it could be having to take high blood pressure pills and fainting twice a day from HBP.

I need something to intervene before my health gets worse and if that means using my student loans to go to Tijuana to get surgery, that's what will have to happen.

No one says it's easy or quick, we just say it's necessary.
