And that's fine if it's your opinion, but I cover (at considerable length) why that didn't work over the years. Agreed. It doesn't work for some people. I watched my wife struggle for 5 years. Changinger eating habits, excersize you name it. And she wouldn't lose more than 10-15 lbs. $10k later and still having a ton of dedication and living a different life style. She's half the woman she was.... Belittling someone for making themselves better is terrible. Especially if they've taken it upon themselves to do it...... it's like making fun of the fat guy at the gym. I get the mindset behind what he said. I do. Because I'm still fighting with it myself, as I believe MOST people who decide to have it done, do. But the fact is, even after having the surgery, you still have to eat right and exercise. That's what I can't stress to people enough so far. It's not just "Well, I had surgery and lost 150 lbs!" -- it doesn't just disappear. It's meant to be a tool that allows your body to deal with those co-morbidities, etc so that you CAN eat right and exercise.

You did, I was just reiterating in hopes of driving said point home for others

What kind of law enforcement interests you? Police officer, federal , CO? I'm a criminal justice major so that crap interests me as well. I'm doing great though. Super busy with work lately but I can't complain.
