Carnie is a beautiful woman whether big or small. Bypass surgery is a cure for the physical part of being overweight, but not the emotional part. If a person doesn’t change their eating habits, surgery is only a band-aid. Good luck to her.

Carnie made a few major mistakes. When you lose weight a great deal you feel like a different person, however you are the same inside and with all the emotional baggage. I weight 287, in 1982 I had the bypass surgery. It was the answer and still is, however with that I kept it pretty much a secert and to this day very few people no what i once was. Everyday I am thin I thank God that he gave me the health and the opportunity to be sucessful and the greatest Dr. No time did I know it was the complete answer. But I knew that if I didn’t suceed that people that never knew what this advanture being overweight ALL your life, they would be the first to critize me. Here I sit all these years later. Amazing 145 lbs. And I am tall size 8.. So will Carnie make you bet she will and I will say to her GOOD LUCK, you are amazing person.
