Weight Loss Surgery?

This topic is so far off topic...
With that being said, my insurance will not cover the operation, so I am going to do everything that my insurance will cover, meeting with a nutritionist, a sleep study, etc.
Going to try to lose the weight on my own, and get as much guidance as I can along the way.

Doing a sleep study and getting a CPAP was one of the best things that I ever did. Didn't really cause me to lose weight, but it was great for my healthy overall.

Sorry.
I didn't have surgery to lose weight but before all this I was just trying to eat better and doing a LOT of exercising, Almost like it was a drug I wanted to do it so much. -
@scottalanmiller there was a good This American Life episode on the effects of just giving poor people money, and how it is useful in spite of the traditional wisdom. I'm in favor of a basic income for all people now that we're in a post scarcity situation: www.reddit.com/r/basicincome
People will soon be 95% obsolete when it comes to work, so we have to make sure everyone has enough to live on. -
Sleep study is a great suggestion. Lack of sleep is proven to cause obesity. If you can get better sleep that is half the battle. Plus if you are sleep deprived then you have no energy or will power to make any other changes in your life.

To be fair I think you got basically the broadest of suggestions and opinions possible and I don't think anyone could offer a new one without repeating something already said by someone else. Therefore, off the rails we go!

Stress too, I gained tons of weight sleeping 4 - 5 hours a night and trying to finish way too many projects. I think too it's because lack of sleep sort of also encourages one to eat more sugar or at least drink more sugary soda and stuff like that, at least that happened wit hme.

Sleep also causes your body to burn more calories compared to being awake.

We should write a best selling book... "Sleep Yourself Thin"
