Pretty sure ALR won’t have weight loss surgery for a multitude of reasons already listed in the thread.
- No sane doctor would take on a 600 lb WLS patient, and she can’t/won’t lose enough weight on her own to hit their weight limit.
- Dr. Now is out because she’ll never do MSHPL. She’s too ashamed, doesn’t want to show how she actually lives or what her real attitude is, would never do a shower scene, etc.
- The whole “no insurance” thing. Kentucky didn’t expand Medicaid, and she didn’t care enough to purchase a plan, so it looks like she has another year with no coverage ahead of her.
- The thought of having her stomach reduced by any capacity likely frightens her. Not only would she not be able to binge eat (read: eat) as she wanted, if she did, she could have painful or fatal consequences. She also couldn’t rake in the youtube $ without her mook-bangs. The thought of a weight-loss channel (featuring actual weight loss) being profitable has slipped her mind.
She could get her shit together, lose enough weight for a doctor to risk operating, follow the post-op diet, and be a success story. But that would require desire, drive, and effort. ALR only has desire, drive, and effort when going to The Cheeseake Factory is involved.
