Why Should I get Gastric Bypass Surgery? Can't I Lose The Weight Naturally?

Good luck on your surgery boogie (: I hope everything goes well

[@TheLaptopPerson]

Mathew Sky Chill dude. Being polite and having hope for others isn't a crime.

[@jdust4]

Mathew Sky Hey keyboard warrior. He's trying to spread the positivity. No need to be a douche. Either be supportive or gtfo son.

[@jdust4]

Mathew Sky We're not offended. We just can't stand douchebags like you. Why don't you ask your mom to make you another Hot Pocket while real adults go to work instead? It's a long way from your mom's basement bud. But we believe you can make your own Hot Pocket if you actually try.

[@thischarminglex]

Boogie, I've never really comment on youtube videos but have been watching you for almost 5 years now, I'm not into gaming, but I always watch the rambling videos etc - your positivity has always helped me so much, so just wanted to say good luck and hope everything goes well for you!! :)

[@boogie2988]

But not doing it is gunna make u wish u u did it last year. I'm proud of you, but I'd be even prouder if you'd do this at least 6 days of the week, and you can have a cheat day.

Okay, how the fuck did your daughter get 450 pounds to begin with? I like how people in modern times are just cool with their family members bloating up like balloons as if there's nothing wrong with it.

[@ImMrMcCoy]

It's not your place to ask something like that, the post was trying to help Boogie feel better about the surgery.

[@dbolton666]

I've reached out to you several times and no response I would love to talk to you . I watch you on a daily basis I have recently had bariatric surgery and it has changed my life I am in the upcoming season of my 600lb life it would be nice to talk to you.

[@pkgingo]

Good for you! I'm happy you got the help you needed to live a healthy life. Stay strong after the surgery. Old habits are so hard to break and it would be heart wrenching to revert all your progress. Congratulations on your journey so far, stick to the path and I hope you are able to achieve your goal! Will totally watch out for you on the show!

Same man, im 300+ pounds and i want to drop it down. I love myself and my personality but i want to be healthy and live a long life and be healthy enough to have a family one day. I started dieting 4 days ago and its a totally different way of thinking, thanks Boogie for making this. Its good to see others trying and going through a similar situation.

[@withouta315]

Hey Boogie, I have just watched this video for the third time, and I have cried each time. I turn 37 next wednesday, I am 450 lbs and my health has been faltering over the last year. Like you, I have never been disgusted with my body, but it is the little health problems that have really put a hamper on my life. I have rheumatoid arthritis, sleep apnea, and lymphedema, all which make exercise quite painful. In fact it was the picture of your feet and the realization that those are my feet that started the tears. I have recently been reintroduced to an old friend from high school and we have started dating. I do not know if she is the one yet, but if she is I do not want to cut my time short with her. So for the next week, I will marathon Obesetobeast's backlog and July 26th will be the first day of the rest of my life.

[@withouta315]

Thanks Catherine

I had gastric bypass on June 5th 2017. The preop diet is the absolute hardest part. I have lost 63 pounds in the past 6 weeks and I feel phenomenal. Congratulations, Boogie. Your life is about to change entirely. My sleep apnea has almost vanished and I no longer shut myself in my house all the time. I want to be outside and hang out with people. I want to be out doing things. I went from a 3X preop to an XLT as of yesterday. It is incredible man. Good luck to you.

[@LheNuggetz]

Any one who has to down someone for the situation they are in and the lifestyle they are trying to change is actually the weak one.. @Dark Auron if your calling boogie weak, while he is pushing through all this hard shit I would consider you the weak and jealous one for not having such a drive to continue to fight for a goal you have no matter what it takes or how hard it is. he has been doing this for years and has not given up yet. if he had he wouldn't even worry about surgery. Take care and If I'm wrong that's awesome, but if you are calling him weak, maybe recheck where you're at what you want and JUST how badly your fighting for it.. *homeless youtuber out*

[@SayainHokage]

I cant stand the fact people are still giving boogie a hard time for something that can not only change boogie's life and possibly save it but make him happy and prolong his life. Boogie has explained time and time again why its not just as easy to just diet and exercise he's not weak he's incredibly strong for having been going through what he's went through and by the grace of GOD he's made it. He's awesome and as fans and viewers we should support him till the end no matter what. And at the end of the day it's his life not ours he's decided to share it with us so guys let's be supportive of boogie ok.

[@josiahsage9792]

I agree 100%

Well, it comes down to this: 1. A lot of people are stupid. 2. A lot of people are fucking assholes. 3. People love to just piss all over other people and treat them like shit. Fuck those people. The good thing is this: Karma is a bitch and will always come around in the end. So, I take comfort in that.

[@elizabethgrimes9819]

I can't understand why people would. I've had this surgery. An it's helped me. It'll help him. If it's what he wants. No one can stop him. He's a grown man. Now we can worry about him yes but we can't make his decisions for him. I just hope he comes out of surgery happy an healthy!

[@conkellz1]

Boogie this is a tip from my mom who had the same surgery. Do not drink anything before or during the time you eat because it will fill you up faster. Also when you are taking your vitamins in the morning take your time, they will hurt going down if you take them too fast. Good luck boogie, I've been rooting for you for years; you are taking the hard road but it will pay off. Remember it isn't a race, pace yourself and be safe!

[@nehahradm1804]

Boogie, I dont usually make comments because youtube is kinda toxic. You said something in this video that struck me and i wanted to comment. You stated, i paraphrase, "getting this surgery is sad and a sign of weakness" While i understand the idea of the statement, i strongly disagree. It is a huge step, and not an easy one. You are a brave man who is taking a huge step to preserve your own wellbeing. It would be all too easy to continue an unhealthy lifestyle. I admire you sir. Carry on!

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

Absolutely. Not everyone can meet their goals with diet and exercise, and to imply that undergoing surgery to turn your life around isn't a huge step... Well anyone saying that can stfu.

[@simonbelmont0993]

I don't know why I'm typing this here. Maybe it's because you've always been a fixture in my day-to-day life, Boogie, and I feel like saying this to you and the rest of the world might take down my _own_ swelling. I don't know. My girlfriend of 4 years just broke up with me. She landed an internship with a company out in Seattle and flew me and her immediate family out there for a small 5 day vacation to be with her. At first I thought everything was going great, but I could tell something was up by the end of that first day. She was just acting... off. Less eye contact. More distance in walking space. Less physical contact than usual. Trusting my instincts, and knowing that she was horrible at lying and covering her emotions, I pressed the issue and asked her what was wrong. She finally told me that she wanted to break up. She said she wanted to do it before the trip but didn't have the heart. After a long conversation and a sleepless night, I booked the first flight I could back to the east coast the next morning. It's been a grand total of 2 days since this all happened and I'm just.. numb.. I can't eat. I can't sleep. The nihilist in me just wants to end it all and be done with this life, but the curious, hopeful side of me thinks that someday I'll find a new normal. This is the second long-term relationship I've been in that has failed. The first was the longest at 7 years. That one moved to Alaska for teaching and met someone more to her liking while she was out there. I guess what I want to say is that your content is a source of therapy for me. Always has been. You're trying to mend a broken body while I'm trying to mend a broken heart. I guess it's comforting, in a morbid way, to know that I'm not the only one going through some hardship right now. My issues are more ephemeral, I suppose, but I'm in extreme pain nonetheless. I hope you pull through, Boogie. For the both of us.

[@lestatcomedante3907]

Simonbelmont09, I honestly and sincerely wish the best for you and hope you remain strong during this difficult time. I understand how you feel numb. I didn't feel much when my father died a little over a year ago and only chocked up a bit once I was done cleaning up his autobody/automechanic shop. I remember the last night I seen him alive but was distant due to opiates withdrawal medication withdrawal. We stayed the night at the hospital before his open heart surgery that didn't go so well and thus he was kept in a medically induced coma. Which he never awake from. Due to financial issues we had to sign his body over to the state and they cremated and spread his ashes into the ocean. There was no funeral and it was a bulk type thing that doesn't involve the family. Over a decade before that I lost the only way that ever gave me a chance to a intoxicated driver. So I understand you feel a hopelessness and lost with loosing someone you love. But I fully, as sappy as it may sound, believe you'll find light at the end of the tunnel and put this break up behind you eventually and find the strength to improve your situation.

[@simonbelmont0993]

@Lestat Thanks for the kind words and your story, mate. It's good to see other people on the other side of their strife. @Miss Co Thank you, as well, for the insight! Yeah, now that I think about it, I can see the connection. This _does_ feel tangible, at any rate. I'm definitely over the numbness now. I think I cried for 2 days straight, didn't even get out of bed but to perform mandatory bodily functions. I'm in the 'depression' phase, now. But I have a fitness game plan that I think will be good for me. I've got a lot of great support around me and it's always nice to see totally random people on the internet giving their love for others in need.

[@gstylez0107]

Yes, Miss Co hit the nail on the head. Scientifically, what you are going through has the same affect on the brain as a drug addiction. Heartbreak and loss of loved ones is one of the hardest things a person can go through in life. It can bring a grown man to his knees, but over time you will get back up and live life again. It may take a while but I promise it will get better. Just as I needed that promise when I was so broken, I'm promising you right now; it will get better.

[@spongebobonmolly]

The pain will fade in time :( I've been through a breakup last year that at the time I thought I would never get over, but I hardly think of them anymore. Don't force yourself to move on, but don't dwell on it either; let it go away naturally on its own time. The pain will come and go constantly but eventually it will come back less often until it stops hurting. I know it's the loneliest feeling in the world but I can promise you will heal one day.

[@spongebobonmolly]

@gstylez0107 Agreed. This time last year I would not have believed anyone when they told me it will get better but it did. It took a very long time but it did get better. It always does, no matter how difficult it is to believe at the time.

[@johanlarsen7656]

Dear Boogie, I don't think that you are weak for not being able to kick the sugary snacks. Sugar triggers a positive response in the brain, which is why most processed foods contain so much of it (not just in the US, the regulations in your country are just looser). Sure, it's possible to kick it, but after a life-long overuse of sugar, the brain is fighting against you, and it's good that you are working actively to live longer! Good luck on the surgery! - Johan

[@ladykilgore2337]

I think this is the first video of yours I've ever watched. I'd heard of you of course but I'd just never gotten around to watching any of your videos. I clicked on this one because the subject jumped right out at me. I found myself crying because I know exactly everything you're feeling. I'm morbidly obese myself and deal with sleep apnea, diabetes, anxiety/depression, I'd even gotten to the point of agoraphobia once. My heart goes out to you sweetie, and I know that fear of mortality and the desire for a better quality of life so very well. I pray that this surgery helps you achieve the health and happiness you want. You're not weak. What you're doing now takes strength, especially in sharing it with so many people, opening yourself up to judgement from others. You seem like a very warm and genuine person, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

[@ronpaulssecretary]

If you are not a medical professional, please do not pretend to be one. We don't need "KZbin doctors" spouting a bunch of bullshit because they spent 4 minutes on WebMD. I've been a medic for 4 and a half years, with more than enough practical experience. I see absolutely nothing wrong with Boogie undergoing this surgery. Those of you saying he can do it just by exercising need to realize that he HAS been exercising and dieting. If you've never been obese, you can be excused for not realizing how hard it can be to run or do aerobics at 300+ lbs. Conditions such as plantar fasciitis start affecting you BEFORE you're morbidly obese, so I can only imagine how hard Boogie has it.

[@ReaperValya]

[@danielj9865]

Andrea Russell not being rude so please don't take it so. But if it's a struggle everyday why not put in the work and drop it through change of lifestyle? Now I understand I've never been obese or to that level but I've owned health clubs for over 10 years and I've seen people make the change.

[@twoseytibba]

daniel j if it's a struggle after surgery imagine the struggle if u didn't have the surgery in the first place. No matter which route you go down it's work. Surgery is no quick fix but it gives u a head start where u don't have a choice about good nutrition. But that eases and years later u can eat most things so it's back to being a choice.

[@danielj9865]

Andrea Russell yes but you can make yourself sick easy and it's no guarantee that there will be no complications with the surgery. And if you do it without the surgery there's that risk you don't have to worry about. I know a few people who chose the surgery and it seems like the ones that could do it without are happier.

[@Banankos]

You'll be fine. After all, you're The Boogie2988. :)

[@lenoicememes868]

Good luck my dude. were all rooting for you

[@CuttingtheCaboose]

Crazy! I am literally recording a response video to your gastric bypass surgery in which I've covered *exactly* these questions. I even bought a Mountain Dew to pour in the bin as a salute :) x x Honestly, 200+ lbs down and my quality of life is incomparable to how it was at my heaviest. Hands down, the best decision I ever made! Love ya, Boogie! x

[@candacekelley4659]

Psyche!

[@forrestball5918]

200lbs?!? That's more than I weigh, how long did that take?

[@CuttingtheCaboose]

A few years, to lose the first hundred, but I was really struggling with the anxiety of regaining. This year (Jan) I had surgery and. lost over 100lbs this year alone, and still losing a few lbs each week :)

[@mathewsky5329]

Cutting the Caboose Your opinion doesn't matter.

[@pokemonunleashed100]

Cutting the Caboose Wow that's a massive achievement tbh, all the best for the future!

[@TheStoff1975]

Dude, regarding the "weakness" part of this.. I think you're describing pretty much entire mankind who always take the comfortable short sighted path rather than the long one, it basically describes how we are treating this planet at the time! We can save it if we change society and work for it, but it's much more comfortable to just keep on the way it is today. So no, you're not weak, you're just human!! I really hope this works out and I get to see your 70th birthday video!!

[@PatsTreasuresNCrafts]

You're an amazing person Boogie! You're doing this for all the right reasons. You are NOT weak! It takes a brave soul to do this surgery. I thought about it a few times and even went for a consultation. I opted not to mainly because I don't think I can have the self control to adhere to a strict diet for the rest of my life. I wish I could get to a place where someday I can. I'm content with cheering you on as you go through this journey. Most people that think you're taking the easy way out are people that have never been overweight or obese so they don't understand the mental, emotional and physical struggle that goes on within ourselves.

[@TheMysticPilgrim]

Thank you for posting this video. I've been in a long time viewer, and I've always highly respected you. But we now have something in common. I am actually 48 hours post op. I very much look forward to hearing your experiences and comparing them to my own. Keep up the good work, and make no mistake and I have no doubt that videos like this are very inspiring!

[@aishwaryapankaj]

Hope you're doing well and all the best for your journey :)

[@iisassmasterii8821]

Aishwarya Pankaj You're so nice. ☺️

[@aldosantin1485]

My grandpa is in an advance stage of diabetes right now. He is blind in one eye and is constantly visiting the hospital. At the moment, he might be dying :( . He is having surgery in his intestine and he has a 50/50 chance of survival. Please send him prayers

[@easypeasy837]

Pizza Jango why? does god only listen to a pray if enough people pray? is he taking a tally?

[@bl1ngbl0ng_]

Pizza Jango Best wishes, I hope he survives

[@easypeasy837]

Liam Barter no I'm legit curious. I don't understand why sending a load of prayers would do anything? if god wanted to help or not help he would do so. So why do we need to spam god with prayers for anything? It's not like "50 prayers or this kitten dies". is it? There's literally no point in praying. And no point in asking as many people as possible to pray to sway his decision

[@roydm143]

take it easy, hes just asking support.

[@smolz1232]

Look, it's great that you have an opinion and all that, but there is a man dying in this person's life so now is not the time nor the place for this type of comment.

[@Small_child_punter]

Could you take a picture of you now so we can see a comparison of you now vs you after the surgery

[@davydawgdawg]

The only opinion you should care about when it comes to that decision is your doctor. Don't let the haters sway you

[@salehkhalaf7465]

Where's his boogie shirt huh explain yourself

[@youngbunt]

good luck Boogie!

[@MikeMr305]

fuck me those legs look so painful

[@kmfiredancer8430]

@ Mathew Sky is there something wrong with you?? I've seen at least 2 comments form the last 2-5 minutes of you just insulting people seemingly at complete random. Literally why?

[@Beckynolife]

KMFiredancer probably some shitty kid who has no friends or parental supervision and nothing better to do this Summer.

[@pastelcataclysm]

i just had foot surgery and i'm still struggling to walk, but walking with those feet look more painful and uncomfortable than anything i've dealt with

#prayforboogie

[@gecho5427]

Mason Boutilier why is it that God needs prayers unless boogie gets 20 prayers he will die?

[@CabbagePuzzles]

Prayer does nothing even if there is a god, unless that god isn't all knowing, all powerful, or everywhere, then it might help, but again there has been no reliable evidence of it happening. I care for Boogie as much as the next guy but Prayer ain't gonna help, donating to his patreon however, would.

[@solkvist8668]

Mason Boutilier I'm not necessarily a big fan of prayer, but I do think that knowing people are committing time to thinking about you and wishing the best is encouraging and empowering to a degree

[@theskinman1948]

NocturnalJay / Prayer is just conversing with God. Having a conversation with him. You can ask him stuff just like you ask a human. No...there isn't a number that has to be attained in order for God to do something.

[@troytatzko1056]

Good luck, man. So glad you're doing this. It's so important for your health and quality of life. Bless you, dude. 👍

[@pessinieminen4341]

Nice, you sure showed him!

[@standoughope]

My mother went with the lap band operation. It seemed to work at first but her addiction to food (namely carbs) prevailed. I've tried to get her to stop snacking constantly but at best she just hides it better. This morning she fell and for the first time couldn't get up. My heart is broken. There's so much self-hatred at the core of eating disorders. We love you boogie, remind yourself of that daily, hourly even.

[@alhdino]

Ryan Swanson hope your mom get better soon

[@RN-hx1rs]

Lap band is a procedure that most surgeons will not do anymore because it is ineffective and causes so many complications.

[@Dzeroed]

Ryan Swanson I hate clicking "like" on comments like this because I don't "like" that you and your Mom are having a hard time. I hope we see a comment in the future saying she got better. 👊

[@SayainHokage]

Ryan Swanson Im so sorry to hear that. I'll keep your mom in my prayers constantly. God bless you and your family and heal and help you all. Hope your mom gets better man. Best of luck. God Bless.😁👍🙏

[@heyitsdazy]

Its just like ppl not understanding when a person has a drinking problem...its not as simple as just stopping...change has to come from within

[@Laziruss]

Boogie, I had Gastric Bypass (Roux en Y style) at age 18. I was 382lbs, prediabetic and was losing circulation in my legs. I am 24 now and ITS CHANGED MY LIFE. I lost 200lbs! AMEN to you brother and I wish you all the best! This is going to change your life in so many good ways!

[@steviesoprano]

Laziruss can I message you? I'm 18, 6'4, 401 pounds. My mom and I have been considering this surgery for me.

I still can't imagine a skinny boogie it's like a part of his character what happens to Francis is he gon die 😲

[@twicepast7]

Francis will see his penis for the first time in decades.

[@iisassmasterii8821]

twicepast7 You're evil 😂

[@johnperry2395]

lol you savage

[@suprflyification]

I'd rather see another 10+ years of boogie videos than a few years of Francis ones. Boogie is doing the right thing and I wish him all the best.

[@cookiejooce8248]

No Francis is just getting surgery.

[@brigandboy1425]

It's really awesome seeing you hopeful (despite how obviously spooked and anxious you are about the surgery.) I hope your "rolling of the dice" pays off. Good luck, sir.

[@PnyxScience]

I currently suffer from illness that sometimes keeps me housebound, and I experience some excruciating pain as well as morbid discomfort and my quality of life has taken an absolute plummet. I'm back and forth at the hospital, getting so many tests and all, yet nothing has come of it. If I had the opportunity to know what my problem is, and be offered a solution, I'd jump at it, because suffering at 18 before you get to experience your full potential just isn't fair. There's no shame or issue with surgery, if you need or want it and it will have the right effect, then go for it. Nobody here from your followers will judge you harshly, they want to see you happy and healthy and to live life to the full. I know how much I want to be healthy again and to overcome my obstacles, but seeing someone have an opportunity to fix their problem riddles me with envy but also happiness. You've got this, my man. Take the reins again and start taking control of where your life goes, you can't afford to not do it. I know it's too late to back out of surgery, but you'll come out of it as a new man with a new lease of life and you'll go from strength to strength. Make the most of it, cause god knows I wish I have the opportunity to do something about my health like you do.

[@oranges88]

my mother had her gastric bypass surgery seven years ago and she is living well. I wish you the best of luck Boogie!

Yes, but he will be renamed boogie170

you are the real saïtama boogie, because you have a god level will power to change

[@OilFreeFeathers]

Chosen Gamer If he had god level will power he wouldn't get surgery. Its a desperation move and he's said that.

[@ViolenceHeights]

"Im not doing this for the quality of life, im doing it for the length" proceeds to talk about all the quality that will restore in him if he gets this surgery successfully. But in all seriousness man good luck, I want it to work out for you bro.

[@ManiacalQueen]

NAMELESS In my opinion, quantity of life is nice, but what point is quantity if the quality is shit? I think that maybe he doesn't realize he is doing it for both.

[@rcnumbers3562]

Alaina S. i think he is saying that because the quality rn is quite good. having a house, doing things that you love, having a loving wife. eating food is one of them but he is going to give that up in order to live a lot longer so that he can enjoy the other quality things in live longer.

[@ManiacalQueen]

RcNumbers Mr.Crash-a-lot Maybe. I mean I value quality over different things, but that might be because of my own personal health issues that have nothing to do with decisions I have made. As long as he is happy with his decision, then none of our opinions truly matter. I just want to see Boogie happier.

[@rcnumbers3562]

Alaina S. if boogie is happy, its all good but it really is an interesting topic discuss.

[@jaiden606]

I hope it goes well

[@martydoesdrums296]

[@ImLegendeRi]

Who is here to compare boogie to now and then??

[@TechXSoftware]

What is the risk of dying with this surgery?

[@boogie2988]

+TechXSoftware statistically speaking 1 in 1000 people die from this surgery. 1 in 800 experience a complication. My surgeon says I am at a slightly higher risk but he is very confident.

[@Ben_Gaming]

boogie2988 If your surgeon is confident it should be alright, best of luck Boogie!

[@josephgarcia4475]

I hope that after surgery etc that you stick to it and keep it off. Alot of people look to you as a role model of some sort. It would be disappointing if after all this you don't stick to your plan.
