"THE EASY WAY OUT"

    This is a quote taken directly from "The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery" (ASMBS) from this web page:
    https://asmbs.org/patients/benefits-...iatric-surgery

    I have posted this a few times as replies to people's posts.
    Hopefully this will offer some damage control to someone's self-esteem if they are told "they are taking the easy way out":

    "More than a decade ago, The National Institutes of Health, better known as NIH, reported that individuals affected by severe obesity are resistant to maintaining weight loss achieved by conventional therapies, such as consuming fewer calories, increasing exercise, commercial weight-loss programs, etc.). The NIH recognized bariatric (weight-loss) surgery as the only effective treatment to combat severe obesity and maintain weight loss in the long term."

    If they don't accept this then commend them on their brilliant medical knowledge, they are obviously smarter than the NIH & ASMBS.

    The easy way out is not to do all of the preparation work for surgery, going through the surgery, having your stomach reduced by ~80%, the recovery period and a lifetime commitment to eating differently and exercise.
    The easy way out is to do nothing, live a shorter, lower quality life, have lower self-esteem and physical ailments.

    What's even easier than that is to tell these rude, self-righteous people to go (bleep) themselves.
