Bariatric surgery

I know this is hard for men to grasp but women don't lose weight as easily. Once the weight is there it doesn't come off. If you can start over with the surgery it's more likely to keep going.

It tends to be a  metabolism thing, When it comes to difficulty losing/gaining weight, although it does seem like men tend to have faster metabolisms, but i also know a fair few women with fast metabolisms too.

I agree it is also about metabolism... And hormones like CL said, and a lot of stuff but really women's bodies want to put on weight around the waist due to the whole birthing thing. The smaller the frame the harder birth is and nature 'knows' that. On that same note ask any woman where it's hardest to get rid of weight. Mine, and 99% of women's, is the stomach/waist. I worked out multiple times a week and lost weight but no matter what I did I couldn't get my abs to flatten how I wanted them to.

Yeah, but... Stick with the diet to see if it's at all possible, or even if it can work on its own, before committing to surgery... is all I'm saying.

Usually when the doctor is suggesting the procedure all other options game already been tried unsuccessfully. Plus as MH said when signed up for these things you are required to follow strict rules. Ie no smoking, following a diet, exercising, sometimes no alcohol. Pretty much you have to usually be a perfect candidate to show you are serious about it before they put you under the knife.
