Know a girl. I say girl because she is 30 years younger than me but whatever. Anyway. Big girl, very pretty, but overweight. Wanted that lapband surgery, stomach surgery to lose weight. Dr. wouldn’t do the surgery until her BMI was over 30...32, whatever. She is a nurse. She was just short of 30. So, she ate herself over 30, went back to the DR. and got her surgery. Lost over 100 lbs. pretty quick.
I don’t know why she couldn’t have just quit eating so much and excercised some but it worked for her....!
All she had to do was eat hospital 'food'...................

I suspect you do not need to lose 100 pounds. It’s well known that exercise and diet do not always result in significant weight loss. Your body will fight losing weight. As you diet, your metabolism will decrease making exercise difficult. About the only way diet and exercise will result in significant weight loss is if you’re on a draconian program like in a POW camp.
I’ve had weight loss surgery and it’s been wonderful. I’m down 80 pounds, blood pressure is down forty points (no longer taking 2 bp pills a day), resting heart rate is under 50.
