A lot of people have done it, but a lot of people with higher BMIs have done it without…good luck to you in all your endeavors.

Are you talking about a gastric bypass or liposuction? Either one is major surgery and you should consider it a great deal before doing it. The healing process can be long and you can run into complications that you may regret later. It’s also very painful afterwards unless you’re drugged up on painkillers. But, once you get it done it may boost your self esteem and you may start to exercise and eating healthier. I’d look at the pros and cons before dishing out the money for any surgery.

That is what we call “morbid obesity”…
You dont specify what type of surgery, that particular person will have.
In the past 20 years or so, sucking fat away from the subcutaneous tissue of the body, brought upon some relief (however temporarily) to the problem, that we have to take seriously….
A person with that body weight and body mass,index, is around 2.2 square meters in body surface…
It would be a great risk for a lenghty liposuction , mainly because the duration of anesthesia.
Endoscopic (not opening anything, and using a tube through the mouth) can place a saline “baloon” inside of the stomach, for instance, decreasing the capacity of the stomach, and giving the sensation of “saciety” or fullness with small amounts of food…
There are other procedures, such as bandaging the stomach through 3 small incisions in the abdomen (laparoscopy), procedure that takes in average 30 to 40 minutes…..
That is NOT a substiture for dieting and mild exercising after surgery, under supervision….. and will need some vitamins such as thiamine, folic acid, and B12, as welll as elements (iron sulphate) after the procedure..whatever that might be…
Its only guess work, since you didnt mention the type of procedure he or she will be undergoing, to comment such, in detail…
Hope that someone does the best after treatment…..Cheers

Please consider other options first and think of this as a last resort. If you have spent any time with people in the hospital who have had this surgery you would see the complications. They are absolutely terrible. It should not be seen as a “good” option, only as a very last resort. And if at all possible consider something other than a gastric bypass. There are numerous other safer methods to loose weight.
