Gastric bypass is a last resort thing, because there is a real risk of death from the procedure. It is not for the squeamish. There are real issues afterwards as well.

there is a newer procedure called the gastric sleeve (or something like that). It is safer and not nearly as awful.
There is also the lap band, but it has issues as well, though not as bad as gastric bypass.

Eating is the topic Oprah avoided in her show about weight last week. She lectures the world about exercise, loving yourself, being “healthy” — whatever that means — not focusing on a number — everything except refined carbohydrates, which are obviously the root of her weight problem. Sure, Oprah spent a minute or two talking about the low-fat eating plan she is on, but she spent five times as much time talking about lifting weights, running, etc. If Oprah sticks to the eating plan she's supposedly on, the weight will fall off her, even if she does no exercise; if she eats the way she usually does — mashed potatoes and the like — she will stay fat not matter how much she exercises. She's clearly a carb addict — I'm not claiming that's a medical condition; just a strong preference for carbs — who will never be thin until she deals with her compulsion to eat massive amounts of breadstuffs. I feel for everyone who is trying to lose weight, but I roll my eyes at middle aged women who brag about their “curves” and refer to themselves as goddesses and assert than every skinny woman is anorexic. None of that is going to change how they themselves actually look, which is what is really bothering them. Denial and envy won't make fat women thin.
