Should I get a barriactric surgery at 21 and weight 228 ?

Question

I’m tall I been losing weight on my own but could I do it with that weight or should I lose it on my own? Should I do the bariatic surgery before lipo and tummy tuck.

Answer

I weighed 228ibs in my 20s and lost all the weight without surgery. I doubt you need surgery just need the will to lose it on your own.

Answer

Bariatric surgery is LAST resort. I don’t think people understand how tough it is on your body and often causes many long term health issues.

Answer

“Bariatric surgery is done when diet and exercise haven't worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight”- Mayo Clinic
Based on the fact that you’re successfully getting to a healthy weight on your own, I don’t think a doctor would recommend an invasive surgery that carries the risk for adverse side effects, unless there were no other option. Keep up your hard work! 💚

Answer

I got it done at 22 and I was in my 230s too. I’ve kept the weight off for the most part. As others have stated, there are risks, but obesity is also a risk factor for many health conditions. I would have been much bigger right now if I didn’t get the surgery.

Answer

Before I got pregnant I was 265lbs, I walked cut sugar from my diet and exercised (didn't exercise except walk till I got to my goal weight just to tone) I lost 125lbs was in the best shape of my life. You don't need surgery determination is a big thing. I just woke up one day and said today I am done being overweight and never stopped. Of course I gained alot back being pregnant but I am going to go back to doing what I was doing before after I'm cleared by my doctor. You got this girl!!

Answer

Don't undergo surgery unnecessarily. If you can do it on your own, then do it.

Answer

Lose the weight yourself

Answer

My mil had surgery about -10 years ago and it messed up her entire digestive track. Her body is unable to properly absorb vitamins and nutrients now. She has gained most of her weight back and is on weekly injections.
