Woman: 280 lbs to a skeletal 84 lbs in 1 Year (Pic)

I am not advocating for or against gastric bypass surgery and am definitely not trying to scare people who may be considering the surgery. My thought is just to share this news. The best part is she has survived and seems to be doing okay.

She now eats 5000 calories per day just to survive.

    I'm glad to hear she's coming out alright from it. That's a really unusual development for someone with GBP or any weightloss surgery, most only lose 60-80% of their excess weight (which can be a major, major difference but certainly keeps them a healthy weight or a bit above).
