Never understood this one. I prefer to keep as many of my body parts as possible. If you continue the logic behind gastric bypass, you should also chop off the offending arm that keeps shoving food into the mouth.

The facts in this posting are part of a larger frequently-occurring syndrome; namely, that a person who shows an addiction to something very often has other addictions (physical or psychological). A chain smoker is often an alcoholic, for instance. Sometimes the whole syndrome is caused by bad nutrition. Sometimes it is caused by overwhelming pressure or stress which the person can not control in his life. His addictions make him feel a little better.PEOPLE ARE BORN TO BE HAPPY. In traditional stable societies, people are happy and laugh often and cry easily; they are not afraid of their emotions.
See Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
Addictions are a symptom of lack of love and security, or a symptom of bodily imbalance.

So what is suprising about this, the Surgeons do not treat the underlying cause of obesity in the first place they just treat the symptoms and expect the problems to go away.

A pre-existing addictive personality surely cannot be described as a ‘side effect’. To do so promotes the idea that we are not responsible for ourselves and for our health. – “Wah! It’s not my fault!”

It's a sad fact that our microwave generation wants a quick fix. Doesn't matter that it took years and years of bad choices to create the problem. It's as simple as proper nutrition and exercise, and it's as hard as proper nutrition and exercise.

Addictive personalities need deliverance! If it's not food, they will find SOMETHING to feed that unquenchable desire. I honestly believe that Jesus is the answer. We were put on this earth to exercise dominion over all of creation, and we can't even have dominion over plants! Most addictions derive from a plant -- sugar, wheat, beer, wine, drugs, etc.

Once again, the law of unintended consequences (good or bad) proves that there is no free lunch.

Almost everyone knows someone thinking about this or have had it done. Getting this out may help people realize surgery isn't a cure.

As I listened to the video, I kept thinkng "Gary Craig got it right-EFT
addresses the real problem, surgery doesn't!"

My husband was an ICU RN for 25 years. He took care of several
people who died from bariatric surgery the last 2 years he worked.
