Can Someone Explain The Gastric Band Principle To Me?

Gastric Byp is not just a surgery that restricts your intake. There are 2 pieces to the puzzle. 1st being the reduction of your stomach to approximatly the size of your thumb. The reason you feel full is because you can't fit anymore. Sure you can ignore the "I'm full" feeling, but your going to vomit all over if you do. There is no way to stuff the food down, it won't go. The 2nd part is the BYP. This is where a section of your small intestine is byped. This is the part that people who think that television programs make them experts don't know about. So what that does is makes it impossible for your body to absorb all of the fat and calories in the food you eat because it is not in the small intestine long enough. These things are not absorbed in the large intestine. Problem is neither is some of the essential vitamins and nutrients. So a byp patient will be expected to take a series of vitamins the rest of their lives. These are the facts: Only 5% of people will maintain a minimum of 1/2 of the weight they have lost after 5 years with diet and excersice. 80% of people who have weight loss surgery will have amintained at least 1/2 of their weight loss after 5 years. That's the proof. Gastric byp is for people with approximatly 100 or more pounds to lose. People are fat for many different reasons. Lack of excersice, over-eating, endocrin disorders.When someone becomes 100 or 200 pounds overweight it makes it extremly hard for the to excersice. With gastric byp you loss weight quickly wich alows you to get off your a$$ and excersice. Why people got there in the first place, if you feel the need to judge that I guess that's your business. Nobody is perfect, I choose to let people live their own lives. But seeing posts like yours that seem pretty......critical to say the least make me wonder if sometimes people have too much time on their hands. If its not for you, then don't do it!!!!!!
