That's why where I am from you usually need a clearance from a psychiatrist that there are no psychological issues in eating habits that would render that surgery useless, before the surgeon is allowed to do it

Fogle@lemmy.ca 4 days agoThere’s also no point to surgeries if the people aren’t committed and are just going to eat even more and put the weight back on. It’s like consolidating debt to make one payment easier but keeping all the credit cards and building up the debt again. It just makes you worse off

That depends on the surgery. Gastric bypass notoriously has weight requirements, but a gallbladder removal can still kill you if you’re too fat.
