Why not have him do some research??
Its NOT the easy way out!
I have been told that by so many people (family included)
but I HAVE dieted, Taken pills, exercised like crazy, sweated, bleed, and done all the healthy (and not so healthy) things to lose weight and it has not been successful.
Having these surgeries is not the ''magic'' solution.
you still have to exercise, still have to change your eating habits, and still put up with the crazies who judge you no matter what...
Which is my long winded way of saying that IF you decide to undergo surgery
a) make sure its the right one for you!
- do research
- visit with more than one surgeon
-take your time!
make sure you do it for the right reasons
-your health
- your quality of life
- YOU
c) don't get dragged down by peoples responses.
-some may just fear change and that they'll lose you when you're healthy
- some may be jealous that they don't have the option
- some are just weird or fearful of surgery.
-some are controlling and want to keep you in their ''grasp''
feel free to message me with any questions...
i have had the lapband
had the lapband taken out
revised to the sleeve
lots of exp. here!
the end.

I've told my parents, sister and an older cousin
(who is also overweight).
Sadly, the only one who has not told me that i took the easy way out (Mom)or that i'm not loosing fast enough (dad) or that i'm not going to succeed (sister) has been my older cousin since we have both had weight struggles all of our lives.
The few friends i have told have been surprisingly supportive and even know of more people my age (24) that have had the surgery.
In the end in know that i did this for me,
so that one day i can be healthy and not have to shop at specialty stores
or be concerned when i'm dating, or getting ready to start a family.
I still have issues with self doubt, but i'm working threw them.
