Is gastric bypass the only option?

If food is a comfort, is gastric bypass a good option in helping someone lose weight and KEEP IT OFF? Without changing the old habits what will happen?

I've worked with Karen Burton of The Clearing Cure for several months and have had great success after she cleared my addiction to sugar, salt, and even helped with candida.

I am one who craves something sweet - especially after dinner. This is a dangerous habit and one I have had to use will power to stop. By working with the clearing cure, my cravings have stopped and I don't have the "need" for that sweet treat. I've found even cutting out processed foods (most of the one's I liked had PLENTY of added sugars) it's helped keep my sugar cravings under control.

We all have to learn what our triggers are and how to deal with them. It does not mean we have to cut things completely out. I still enjoy treats every so often - but I've learned how to control my cravings and been empowered to overcome them.

Gastric bypass would be temporary solution for me if I never learn to overcome my habits and emotional reactions - both triggers for me to turn to sugary comfort foods. Bypass, for me, would only enable me more and keep me thinking, "oh, just this little bit won't hurt - I don't eat enough for it to make a difference." I know me, and I know my tendencies. The best solution is the clearing solution, eating proper foods so I don't feel like I need to snack (another of my downfalls) and keeping my body active so I'm don't get bored and head for the cupboards.
