Questions to Ask When Looking at a Gastric Bypass Surgery Before and After Picture: Ask These to Make Sure You Make the Right Decision!

 

You look at a gastric bypass surgery before and after picture in a magazine and are in awe at the

changes that obesity surgery has made. Before you start dreaming about having obesity surgery

yourself, you need to ask yourself a few questions about the before and after photo:

1) Is there a discrepancy between the photograph and any article accompanying the photo? You may

notice that the article describes unpleasant symptoms or a rigorous exercise and diet regimen after

the gastric bypass surgery. Don’t let the before and after photograph trick you into thinking that

gastric bypass surgery is an instant solution.

2) Does the after photo add elements that are not in the “before” photograph? Look closely at each

photo. In many cases, the “before” photo will be fuzzy or unprofessional and show someone with no

makeup or with bad hair. The “after” photo is often processionally taken, and shows someone who

smiling and is wearing professionally-applied makeup. Yes, the weight loss makes a big difference,

but those other elements do, too.

3) Does the photograph play on my emotions? Does the person writing the article have something to

gain? If the “after” photograph shows someone who is smiling and surrounded by people and the article

suggests that gastric bypass surgery can change your life, consider whether the person in the article

has something to gain - are they being paid to provide a testimony? Are they a clinic offering

gastric bypass surgery? Obesity surgery can make you lose weight and possibly become healthier, but

it will not change your outlook on life - only you can do that. Don’t be emotionally bullied into

making a decision as important as gastric bypass surgery.
