Guys,
I was watching an episode of, I think it is Biggest Loser series 7 and there was this guy on it who had been about 500ish pounds for alot of his life (think he is mid 50's now) and he had some type of gastric bypass op about 14 years ago. Crazy thing is that it worked (at least as some level) but it completely f'd up his body fat distribution. He basically had alot less fat around his middle but was really huge in the legs and the chest (had like 4 sets of pecs hanging off his upper body). anybody know how this works? I realise you can still override the bypass by continuing on with the bad eating (as he must off cause he was on the BL but the fat distribution thing has got me stumped). If someone could explain it to me appreciate it.

GB just makes your stomach smaller. It will stretch to also normal size again, if you stuff youself. People hold fat in different ways.
Are you saying that you think he really had lipo or something?

No, just that I have never seen or heard of invasive surgery causing like a complete fat redistribution on the body. Just like to have the science explained to me as to how it happens. I take it that he didn't have any other surgery so the gastric bypass alone is responsible for the redistribution. I understand that with the bypass you can't absorb food the way you used to but why would it redistribute away from your gut and accumulate as usual in other areas of the body only and not the waist?
