I don’t think getting your stomach surgically shrunk down so that you are forced into malnutrition state and drop 100 lbs in a year should be “goals”

That state of malnutrition and quick weight loss results in sagging skin, bone density loss, and and muscle wasting.

Slow and steady weight loss naturally is the best way to go

You don’t know what you’re talking about. The data has shown over and over that without surgical intervention, big weight loss is not sustainable long term without bariatric surgery. It’s the best chance that very overweight people have at being thin if that is their goal. [/quote]

Going from very fat to very thin in a short amount of time has negative health effects too- they just show up later.  [/quote]

Think about it…if you are losing 25 lbs per month, it isn’t just a caloric deficit, it is malnutrition.  Your body isn’t absorbing nutrients it needs to sustain and it is pulling nutrients from other places (bones!).  Being overweight has tons of medical complications, we all know this.  But getting gastric bypass is far from no big deal and not something to take lightly.  It can also cause a host of problems.  Just because you lose a bunch of weight quickly doesn’t mean everything is great.  Malnutrition takes a toll on muscles and bones, very slowly and over the long term.  Maybe that is better than being overweight..I don’t know.  But no one should seek out this surgery unless it is truly a last resort and they are morbidly obese.  Bone health is becoming a major concern in gastric bypass patients.  You can supplement your way around it either
