Gastric Bypass

I've wanted gastric bypass ever since I saw it featured in Men's Health when I was 17... after years of being teased about my weight and girls passing me up for all the skinny, pretty ass niggas, gastric bypass sounded like a godsend... I asked my doctor about it and got a very stern no... this was back when it first came about and was still considered a super risky operation so I guess it was for the best seeing as how I could've very easily died... seven years later, I'm at least 150 pounds heavier and feeling more and more helpless... my problem has never been lack of exercise (I've been playing sports since I could walk) or eating a lot of unhealthy foods (I don't really care for chips, cake or soda... not to mention I absolutely LOVE salads and vegetables) but my biggest problems have been emotional eating and portion control... the emotional eating was by far the worst my first two years in college as I was so depressed and the only thing that seemed to help my mood was comfort food like wings and cheeseburgers... once I realized what I'd just done, I'd feel guilty and, in turn, cause myself so much more grief, I'd end up eating again... my overeating actually led to MORE overeating... that cycle led me to gain between 60-80 pounds freshman and sophomore year... now as time went on, the bouts with depression subsided and the emotional eating wasn't nearly as bad... but then I had a new problem: portion control became my nemesis... these days it's nothing for me to eat a whole large pizza or eat a pound of wings with some fries or eat three double cheeseburgers from McDonald's (with fries, two apple pies and a large tea... lol) and I know its not healthy but its at the point where I'm just not satisfied anymore... and that's what scares me... I don't wanna be one of those 900-pound guys you see on Discovery Health... but that's where I see it going... so I think gastric is my only option because "just eating less" doesn't seem like a very viable one to me... at least now I have more of a reason than before when it was just because I wanted girls to like me... I have a general concern for my health... and I feel like it will get worse soon... diabetes, heart disease and cancer all run rampant in my family and while I know being smaller doesn't guarantee that I wouldn't still succumb to these diseases, I do know that losing weight would reduce the risk... not to mention, I think I'd look pretty damn nice in a suit... lol... I've had a few friends get it done and it makes it basically impossible to overeat so I'm going to look into it and see what I can come up with...

Ya'll be easy...
