A family member of mine is very overweight. Having been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and having it removed, her metabolism lays solely on her medication. She eats very, very little, but still gains weight as the result of these hormonal issues. She gets some exercise, but is extremely difficult due to the health issues and extreme fatigue caused by her treatment. Doctors have told her that the only possible way they can forsee her bringing her weight down is through gastric bypass, but she must wait until all tests are clear, her hormones have stabilized, and she fully recovers internally from previous surgeries.
