It is not difficult to control your food input when you eat out. However, it takes some amount of will power. I find that many restaurants will give you a portion of vegetables instead of starch. The next part of the procedure is to look at your plate and determine how much you really need to eat, and divide the portions accordingly. Of course, the dessert is not ordered unless it is jello or something else lo-cal. Cutting up your stomach is the last resort, but obviously at 300+ pounds, food controls their life. I have read about people who have dieted and lost 100+ pounds. The best way to not have a stomach operation is to keep your weight down to start with. Then, you do not have to worry about the large amount of excess skin that will take plastic surgery to remove.
I go to a restaurant, and what are the obese people eating? French fries, hamburgers with the works ( all that yummy calory laden sauce), hot fudge sundaes, etc. I assume that at home they eat the same, plus they probably gorge themselves on potato chips, pretzels, doughnuts, etc while watching TV. Tsk, Tsk.
And what about exercise? Pushing yourself away from the table is not really exercise but it does help if it means you ate sensibly. Join a gym, buy an exercise machine; they are cheaper than stomach operations and other weight reducing tools will cost later, and treatment for diabetes, depression, and other obesity related illnesses.
