[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gastric bypass surgery is his best bet (his only bet really) for losing that much weight and keeping it off long term.[/quote]

That’s absolutely incorrect.  For food addicts and those who eat to medicate PTSD, mutilating abdominal surgery simply results in wright loss, weight regain, and consequently much less health: just as fat or nearly so, but now with much worse nutritional absorption, to say nothing of risk of death.  A not insignificant number of gastric bypass survivors go on to die from depression by suicide.  If you’re told it is your last best hope and it fails, it’s pretty devastating.

He needs treatment fo the PTSD and neglect more than anything else.  Fasting and keto may help with the physical symptoms a bit, but this is psychological more than anything.  [/quote]

Oh really?  I've had the surgery.  Have you?  I love how armchair nutritionists/therapists always slam gastric bypass while NIH endorses it as the best option. Anyway, I had it 14 years ago, and I've kept off the 100 pounds I lost.  [/quote]
