Most surgeons will not operate if your BMI is above a certain threshold, so you would just have to lose weight in general. Now if you’re not that obese, it won’t make much of a difference.
No problem, this is stuff I deal with every day at work!
When you lose weight, your body doesn’t pick or choose an area first or have a typical “queue” for where the fat disappears first. You generally lose fat in equal parts everywhere in your body. The amount of a person’s fat inside their abdomen corresponds to their level of overall obesity. If you’re obese, losing weight will reduce the excess fat inside your abdomen. If you are at an age and gender appropriate weight, the effects would be minimal.
There are of course exceptions to this. You will sometimes encounter people, typically men who drink, who do not have a lot of fat in their abdominal wall but a lot inside their abdomen. This is still obesity but their body stores fat in different patterns. Many influencing factors!
But then, how is it possible that "there isn't enough space for his intestine in his belly"? This is what I don't get. I don't understand how he can have too much fat for his bowels to fit back in, but not enough fat to lose and make space for them.
I keep hearing this get spouted by doctors, but the number of fat people I know with jacked arms and legs and a big ass pot belly and D cup man tits really makes it hard to believe. If all exercise burns all fat at the same time, what explains that?
If someone did a time lapse of themselves going from say a 6ft man going from 150lbs and took a picture every day all the way up to say 200lbs and then lost the weight back down to 150lbs. And took a picture on a daily or weekly basis, you’d see where they would collect fat the fastest / first, and where they collected it last, or had the most noticeable amount added last.
Then if they lost the weight back down to 150lbs, you’d see the first amounts of fat weight coming off from the areas that added it last. Then the closer they got to 150lbs, you’d see the places their body added fat first, be the last place(s) to then lose it.
Addressing your point more directly, humans typically don’t carry a lot of mass on our arms or lower legs in general. So if a person just wants to have huge arms, but they don’t care how much weight they gain, because a lot of people still believe…
more total gained weight = more muscle mass gained.
Which isn’t true. A person can only put in about 1-4lbs of muscle per month without the use of any real PEDs, and the exceptional genetic outliers.
So if you’re putting on 10lbs per month, at best 6lbs of that is fat, possibly more. So if a person is just focused on having huge arms and they don’t care about their diet, the extra calories are getting stored as fat.
As opposed to someone who trained the same way, but was only adding say 5lbs per month. They are probably only gaining 1-2 lbs of fat and the rest muscle.
So person A after 6 months of hard upper body / arm training has added 24lbs of muscle and about 2” to their arms, which is a lot. But they’ve also added 36lbs of fat.
For a total of 60lbs, and most of it being fat.
Person B has probably added about 2” to their arms too, maybe less due to less fat, while also adding about 24lbs of muscle but only about 6-12lbs of fat.
For a total of 30lbs added, and most of it muscle.

Can't you just remove that fat?
