sad
bariatric surgery is only for ppl with bmi over 40. if you are that fat then you should ask your doc. if not then the benefits do not justify the risks. but as any medicine you should not be buying it without your own docs advice. Don't ask a bariatric service if you need one. Thats like asking a barber if you need a haircut.
Sure she does!
you should get him a ***** and see what his reaction is!
agreed he might actually like it though, then your ******
your fro makes me happy just sayin'
your afro made my day. :)
I ******* love your Afro.
If you need to drop down to a healthier weight, then do it.

Show it anywaysurgery has risks of complications, and generally stupid if diet and exercise are an option.
she might not really even be obese. we don't know her weight.
Who says she's over weight. it could have been a boob job or nose job u ******* idiot.
And who posts info on wikipedia? people who supposedly know the material or people who did study the topic?
Yes, the husband thinks she's 'fat' when she may have a few extra curves. He may simply have a warped view of ideal body image, and is overreacting. I guess that makes you the dumbfuck.
I didn't go look it up to find out what it was, I looked for it on Wikipedia because it's a generally accepted source of knowledge and a viable form of proof which I hoped would put to rest the ignorant replies to my comment. Sadly, I was mistaken, as I seem to have incurred more. I already knew what the surgery was, but rather than say, "I know it's this because I know it's this" I posted what a 3 second Google search could have procured for the ignorant ***** replying to my god damn comment, you ******* twats.
Never fully trust wiki... it's often written by similar dumb ***** :)
If you take the two seconds to Google "Bariatric Surgery" and glance at the first three results, one is the Wikipedia article on bariatric, and the other two are other bariatric surgery resources. STFU with the "OMG IT'S WIKI IT'S FAKE HURR DURRR" bullshit.
yah, only if the doctor says you're obese. if your husband says you are doesn't mean it's true.
Mr Zachary. You're a wanna be gangster, not a doctor. Stop. Just stop.. :)
mr Zachery just has a small penis and is trying to compensate by using big words and trying to make people feel inferior!!! lol. they have surgeory for that to.
Whoa. mr_zachary, you seem to be very angry about things. That was the second rant from you that I've read on different FML's. relaaaax :)
I did enjoy the other one, however. You ended each post with something along the lines of "I said **** off!". I lol'd a little at that.
Your English is terrible, Zachary.
Zachary, your English is just fine. However, I disagree with your original comment. To all the commenters out there who may not trust Zachary's knowledge or wikipedia, OP was talking about bariatric surgery, which is obesity surgery. That is fact and indisputable. Bariatric surgery has numerous potential complications, depending on the type of surgery. I don't have tine to explain all of them, but suffice it to say some of them are devastating. The surgery, no matter what the type, is neither free nor a magic bullet. Major lifestyle changes are necessary for any type of bariatric surgery.
nicely said.
Nice one @69. We all know to little about OP to sit and judge what weight she is. The argument is fully of falacys. If an argument is what you call this mess of ad homein.
Doc is, of course, exactly right. In addition to what he said, the American Society for Bariatric Surgery has some pretty specific guidelines about who qualifies for the procedure. (And no, I did not get that info on wikipedia.) Having a few "extra curves" doesn't qualify you, and if the husband isn't a total idiot, he'd find that out while doing his research. I'm guessing this gift wasn't out of the blue. It's likely that OP struggles with her weight, and maybe her self-esteem too. His gift was probably well-intentioned, if a bit insensitive. Maybe he should offer to join her in a weight-loss routine, or fitness routine if he isn't overweight as well. Healthy cooking classes and a fun physical exercise program would be enjoyable for them to do together. Although it may be tougher for him than just paying a bill, and tougher for her than going under the knife, it could be the start of a long-term healthier lifestyle, as well as a way to spend quality time together to strengthen their marriage.
Since when is wikipedia a, "generally accepted source of knowledge and a viable form of proof..." Seriously, try to use wikipedia as a source in a scholastic paper, or any type of research paper, see what happens. I'm not saying wikipedia isn't a decent way to get a general idea about something, but to claim it's an, "accepted source...." is just wrong.
generalasskicker, reread my comment. As for the rest of your comment, I haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about. I was just commenting on bariatric surgery, not if OP was obese or not.
HallowBlue- to whom is your comment directed? If you are referring to me, I have some bad news for you.
Zachary - Please look at your 7th and 46th comments. It seems as though you should be focusing on earning a high school diploma, instead of continuing to degenerate on this website.
Hallow, had it been obvious, I would not have asked. There is no reason for you to be rude about it.
Doesn't mean it's fake either.
o my gosh. seriously! nobody cares! you can't all be mr im so right and everybody else is wrong and duh that's the way life is! so get a life outside of a website for people to rant about how much their lives suck and stop being such bratty know it alls! gosh! you guys don't even know op! move on! it is so pathetic that 36 people actually care enough about impressing people they don't know to continue to waste time on this! in fact, what the heck am I doing here? goodbye and if you have any life at all you will discontinue posting to this discussion!
@110 They? They who? The only they who is even remotely relevant here would be the FML Staff, and I don't recall them ever telling us not to use Wikipedia. I'm assuming you mean "they" as in the people who grade your papers, but I'm pretty sure that they also tell you "2" use proper spelling and grammar. Since you aren't following "their" rules, you shouldn't be enforcing them. @121 First of all, calm down. The comments section on FML was made for commenting. If we weren't supposed to comment here, there wouldn't be a special place designed for it.
Oh my gosh seriously! I was hoping someone else would say it!!!!!!! ha ha jeez it's her life. There are people with FMLs that are way worse than this so why spend time arguing about it!!!!
hahaha! u r sooo funni!!!!!
curvy is not fat. Kim Kardashian has curves. Scarlett johansson has curves. Beth dito is obese. people in that weight range are obese not ******* curvy. I'm sick of fat chicks being called curvy, seriously wtf. fat is fat man! it's not curves- it's ******* rolls of flab!
Ever stop to think maybe he's an overjudgemental fuckhole? Screw you for assuming. Maybe she IS a heathly weight but he thinks she should be an effing stick figure. Think before you speak, asshole.
ahaa I just love how being fat is now called "curvy"
^this. I can not agree more
I totally agree lol
Stupid phone added my comment before I was done typing it. @Mr_Zachary how do you think the gift was free? Their money is most likely combined since they're married. There is no way to know if OP is really obese to need such a drastic surgery. I think the situation is FYL for OP and her husband. OP for having such a clueless man and FYL for the husband no longer being attracted to his wife.
@ mr Zachary: I gave you a thumbs down because you sound like an arrogant jerk, not because of anything else. Also, yes, I agree that most of the time wiki has correct information, however, there is a reason that you aren't allowed to cite it in academic situations.
Give him a punch to his face...and when he bitches, complain that he doesn't like what you give him.
Nice magical flying necklace

Show it anywayNo, it's a stupid gift, maybe she's barely overweight. This type of surgery presents risks during and post-op. Don't insult people based on assumptions as she didn't explicitly mention she's actually obese, the husband may have a warped view of ideal weight. It makes you appear sort of dumb when you act like an asshole.

Show it anywayNo it can't be a nose or boob job, bariatric surgery is weight loss surgery.
Bariatric surgery is hardly anything like a haircut, a new wardrobe or a complete makeover. You also cannot compare it with free liposuction or a free boob job; it is more serious than cosmetic surgery. If OP's husband is as shallow as you make him sound, then she should just leave him.
94 - She never said she WAS morbidly obese however, which would make it an FML. If she was fat she would most likely be thrilled. Maybe a little offended, but not enough to decline. That would be my reaction, anyway. *shrugs* Nice profile pic though. lol
Having surgery won't automatically keep her around longer. First of all, bariatric surgery has a very high risk of serious complications, including death. Secondly, if she is obese, she will still have excess plaque built up in her arteries and will most likely have an inactive lifestyle and/or eat too much unhealthy foods. That can kill you weather you're fat or skinny. The only way to definitively prolong your lifespan if you are obese is to change your lifestyle for the better. Surgery is not a magic answer to everything.
Well your a dick #10

Show it anywaySurgery won't make her healthy. Skinny by itself is not automatically healthy. If she is obese, she needs to change her lifestyle. Skinny people can also have plaque in their arteries and high blood pressure and such.

you should get him a ***** and see what his reaction is!
Some people don't know the facts about the surgery. In order to even be considered for the surgery, you have to be at least 100 pounds over weight. Maybe the guy is just a superficial prick who wants a super model instead of a normal weighted women. She may be slightly over weight but not enough for the procedure. People that just assume she is obese is just making a jack ass of themselves.
