Default Re: Ask buriedbeds about losing 200 lbs (very, very long)

Very impressive. I think it is more impressive that you did it with solid diet and exercise rather than some quick fix like lipo.

Having come from where I've come from, I honestly don't look down on anyone doing anything. I'm just happier than I can describe that I didn't have to do that, because the mortality and complications rates are so incredibly high, and I don't think that you really learn how to live and eat properly by doing it.

But for some people it may be the right option - people who are physically incapacited, for instance, and who need to lose weight just so they can start to move on their own again and regain their personal freedom and the physical ability to move on their own.

So I don't have a problem with anything anyone does. I think it's a testament to how horrible it is to be morbidly obese, however, that people are willing to undergo that surgery. They all know the stats, but they still do it. It's that bad.
