Am I a dick for not wanting to hang out with someone who had Gastric bypass?

[waterjug]

I was with a girl the other day, and having a decent time, then she mentions she lost 130 lbs. My ears perk up because I assume she's interested in health/fitness, which is something I enjoy. Nope. Gastric Bypass. Am I an asshole for thinking that shit is insane? You're basically saying "Doc, I have no ability to control myself, so I need you to GUT ME, hack my stomach into pieces, REROUTE my mangled intestines, and then sew that shit back up". The operation can be done to to treat morbid obesity, hypertension, diabetes, etc....except all of these conditions can be treated by....losing fucking weight naturally.

The fucked up thing is, you have to lose weight before you get the surgery usually, to show the doctors you're serious....JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DID TO LOSE THE FUCKING WEIGHT. Alright, I'm done ranting, but fuck. How fucking lazy/fucked up do you have to be that "putting the fucking fork down" is a less appealing option than having your guts scrambled?

 

[highland145]

yes

 

[Kadarin]

Yes, you are a dick for not wanting to hang out with her.

 

[Insomniator]

Nah you good, think of all the skin she must have still.

 

[jaedaliu]

You knew the answer before you asked.

Yes.

 

[OlafSicky]

Good man just imagine what she looks like without clothing

 

[rudeguy]

yes

 

[Ns1]

Not sure if anyone has said it yet but yes you are a dick.

 

[lxskllr]

I agree with everything you said aside from not wanting to hang out. That's dumb.

 

[smackababy]

I don't think not wanting to be with someone that has a history of inability to control their urges is being a dick. Telling her such would count though. Also, even if she took the easy way out of losing all that weight, she could still be interested in fitness now.

 

[crashtestdummy]

Yes, you're an asshole. Yes, the whole idea is a bit strange, but that doesn't make them a bad person, nor does it make them worth shunning.*


*Exceptions can be made if you only associate with professional hot dog eaters. Then it makes perfect sense.

 

[KeithTalent]

Nah, not at all.

Of course, if you have to ask...

KT

 

[Krazy4Real]

yup

 

[JM Aggie08]

It's clear that you know nothing about the human body, you fucking tool.

 

[RearAdmiral]

Hang out? Sure you are. Wang out? Nah. It's a lifestyle you don't agree with.

I dunno, it sounds like you'd be a good, sympathetic friend, someone to share your thoughts and emotions with..

 

[Nebor]

Nope, I would have thought exactly the same thing. Also, 100% of the people that I know personally that have had gastric bypass have eventually regained all of their weight.

 

[smakme7757]

For all you know she might actually have trouble keeping the weight off. For her sake i'm glad you don't want to see her anymore. A blessing in disguise i guess.

So . . . you're going for the gastric bypass bypass, eh?

Let's break this down. First, are you a dick? Not much info here, but I'm going to go with "yes." After all, you're posting a personal problem on ATOT and expecting a usable answer, so at the very least, you're socially retarded.

Now that your essential dickness has been firmly established, the further question is, "Are you being a dick for not wanting to hang out with this girl?"

Listen, DICK, I'm not going to bother answering that! Why should I care about any detail of your dick-stained life, dick?

 

[dank69]

If by "hang out with" you mean "convince her to sleep with you" then no, you aren't a dick. If you mean anything else then yeah, you're a dick.

 

[Puppies04]

Good man just imagine what she looks like without clothing

Like a neglected 3 week old party balloon?

 

[schneiderguy]

I'm going to go against the majority opinion and state that OP sounds like a pretty cool guy.

I don't associate with manlets and it's not even their choice that they are short.

 

[Jodell88]

No, you're not a dick, you're worst than a dick.

My wife had gastric bypass (before I met her) and it ruined her ability to absorb certain vitamins and minerals from food; she'll have to have regular iron infusions for the rest of her life because her stomach can no longer absorb it from food. So I can see where you're coming from about the insanity of the procedure; that shit is crazy.

I wouldn't say you're a dick for not wanting to hang out with someone, but doing it based on your assumption of why they made a particular choice in the past without knowing all the facts does strike me as being... well, dickish, I guess. Did she tell you why she had the procedure done instead of losing weight naturally? What if the doctors said she had no choice, that she would die without it? You're forming a judgment based on your own stereotype of people who undergo gastric bypass, and that's definitely a dick move.

 

[BikeJunkie]

I don't think it makes you a dick. So you aren't attracted to addiction-prone people. Food, alcohol, drugs... whatever.

<-- addicted to food
