Bypass Buck Rodgers





I listened to Gil Gerard on the Discovery Heath Channel talk about his disappointment going from Buck Rodgers t.v star 25 years ago to modern day fat guy at the please don’t strip mall.
Wikipedia on line talks about Gerard’s weight ballooning to 365 pounds and I wondered “why do weight gainers always have to be ballooning” which may be the yeast of their problems in an economic downturn when the only thing expanding is their stretch waistband Wall mart olive green dingo work pants. By the way did you know in gay culture one just never wears stretch pants it is just so “oh my god he didn’t” socially unacceptable.
So ballooning Buck now talks about how mini gastric bypass surgery was right for him, choking the neck of the circus balloon all chicken choking jokes aside and saving his life as he has dropped 145 pounds of carbon dioxide squeaking loudly with every discarded ounce . That’s 580 pounds of pressure released from his hip sockets which is why he does the ecstasy moan with each step around the golf course. “Oh yea”!
Gil did say he avoided many social functions-and by the way he is a great guy very much involved in charity work like serving as a nun buoy for special Olympic polar plunges -because he never felt right in his fat guy cloths even though he was the fat guy.
The zone where will power yields to surgery and success is claimed as the prize. Isn’t this just another example of body augmentation and adjustment?
I imagine being the pharmacist at the Happy Harry’s express lane you qualify by having your name, condition and medication read over the store’s loud speaker, I mean how much fun would that be?
Pizza be with you!

Comments:
I once watched a panel of patients and physicians who had undergone stomach bypass and individually lost substantial weight. One of the most interesting findings was that for some who were insulin dependent prior to surgery were insulin independent almost immediately post-surgery. Don't hold me to this as it's recall but I'm sure there are studies out there. For some people this is life saving surgery as obesity carries so many co-morbidities. Ordinarily I am slow to go to the knife, but extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures.
