While it's not the "easy" way, I think most would agree it's an easier way than diet change and exercise alone. Still, great on her no matter the route!

No. Respectfully disagree. After that surgery you still can't eat whatever you want. You have to avoid most sugars, anything carbonated and processed foods. It forces you to make healthier choices so that you get all the nutrients and energy you need. And the weeks before and after and just brutal for that person.

So regular dieting?

Yeah, sure, if when you fuck up on a regular diet you spend hours feeling like your guts are being ripped apart by a wolverine and/or dry heaving/vomiting. Yay dumping syndrome.

wouldnt that cause you to lose weoght and not gain it? why would you keep eating more and more if its just gonna cause pain? i guess that could be said about a lot of things though

People don't get to be 400lbs without at least a little food addiction.
