I ate about 1400 calories per day and see a nutritionist about the content of food I eat. I'm still obese. I've been eating extremely healthy for the last four years with portion control and still never lost any weight unless I completely starved (500 calories per day).

I've posted here before about wanting to get the surgery but now I'm not so sure. I have no food addiction and don't over eat. I have no issue sticking with a diet.

I'm not so sure this would be the right procedure for me at all. My heaviest weight was 230 pounds and I am 213 and can't lose anything at all. My body tries to put on weight when I skip a day at the gym even.

I'm not sure what to do. Is the surgery for folks with a food issue primarily and does it not work otherwise?

Bariatric surgery alters hormones that influence weight in addition to treating overeating. However, it's worthwhile to see an endocrinologist to rule out metabolic or hormonal problems first if you've followed a healthy, low-calorie diet without seeing any changes. You'll be able to determine whether surgery is the best course of action or whether another treatment would be more beneficial.
