They are indeed. There is this operation called Gastric Sleeve that takes away most of it and you fill up what’s left of it very quickly and then you are not able to eat any more. A woman that had it said after the operation you do three weeks drinking liquid only, then three weeks of liquidised food, then another few weeks of soft food. It’s about 3 months before you can eat normal food but you can only eat a few mouthfuls of it and you can’t drink any liquid with it. It’s a very severe weight loss treatment but some people get themselves into an awful way with their weight.

A dentist rang in to say that. There’s a reason procedures are cheaper over there. Cc @flattythehurdler

That’s mental. I mean I guess it’s easy for me to say from the sidelines, but that sounds even worse than being fat.

It can literally save your life, a parent of a child in my class last had it done in Turkey and she’s looking great, flying after it. And she’s working hard at it now as well, fitness etc

You’d go to Turkey for a bit of bridgework and come back with your lad missing

Is that you Mr McCann?

Does it not make it very hard to get the required nutritional intake though?

Sure you’d live on a bowl of rice a day. Most people are eating multiples of what they need.

Maybe cutting back on the chinese and crisps nught help. Ive no sympathy for people with no self control on diet Ă nd exercise

I don’t know, I assume you’d need to be careful on that score and monitor what goes in.
I’d be more likely to praise somebody for going for it rather than criticise, it’s rarely for reasons of vanity I’d say, more a means of extending your life, but I only know of that one case

Id say you might. Bulemia, anorexia for example. There can be mental illness at the other end of the scale too so to speak

But yeah, some is pure laziness

Its actually fairly easy to lose weight if you just do a bit of research

Mental illness or genuine medical conditions can ve genuine excuses but this sounds like laziness surely a foctor over here would have advised this first before medical treatment if it was not possible

I googled it and theres some great pills available. Some weight loss and erectile dysfunction pills sound great

They’re called yokes

In fairness its hilarious how ridiculous veneers are

Veneers?

Forget it, I googled it, like a crown

For all your teeth. They shave your teeth into points like a vampire and cap them. A hollywood smile for a clare roaster. What more do you want
