- You might not like what I have to say. But obesity is not healthy in the first place in the first place. I don't know your height, but 250 isn't all that terrible. I really suggest a diet and excercise plan. Do it not primarily for your looks, but for your health and your happiness. Trust me.
- No this is not true. There is a saying about people who fit the criteria for gall bladder removal surgery. Fair, Fat, Female, and Forty The majaority of surgeons would ask you to sign a consent form stating that they would attempt to carry out the procedure using a laparoscope. If it proved to be difficult, then the surgeon would use an open incision. The procedure you need is formally known as a laparoscopic cholecystectomy and is probably the most common kind of laparoscopic surgery carried out world wide. Whoever told you that obese people cannot have this done is uneducated in the matter and you should be refered to a specialist if you need this surgery, and they should answer any questions you should have.
