Obese man gains weight two for surgery to qualify

Fans of "The Simpsons" can't remember the episode (circa mid-90's) where Homer decides to use so that he can go on disability weight.

A man in the UK is now trying to qualify a similar performance for weight loss surgery.

In McCloud weighs 127 lb (279), but local health authorities will only consider him for gastric bypass surgery if he weighs 133 kg (292 lbs) and a body mass index (BMI) of 45 has.

McCloud, said he was 4 packets French fries, food, bread, Bacon æ of a loaf rolls every day in an attempt to reach his target weight.

The 5'7 "man to approximately 15 pounds a BMI of 43.5 reach won."

The operation will help me to prevent that insulin and help me with my other problem... I have diabetes for the best part of 15 years, and I am absolutely terrified as a burden for my family in the attention- but I still eat, and that I can get my head around not.

Honestly, I have a hard time getting my head around this me one. I'm not here to judge, but it's disheartening to hear that this man feels himself as if this is his only option. It is even more discouraging that this situation a microcosm of our society-the easiest way is looking has become rather than the most advantageous.

Interestingly, McCloud's doctor on board with this plan is curiously says,

Darin done all he can do and the problem is, if he surgery soon doesnt he loses his job and add further complications of diabetes.
I can honestly say that when faced with a similar dilemma, it would be very tempting to choose win 13 pounds vs. 80 + pounds to lose. But as I mentioned above, it is regrettable that we come to a point, where we think all our bad choices that modern medicine will save us.

Could the argument that the system will things wrong, but in the end of this situation points to a major social problem.
