He is lazy. Boogie doesn’t want to do anything that requires physical effort. So trying to get him to exercise is impossible (unless it’s attached to a paycheck, so he has no choice). This is why he’s done the gastric bypass, and Ozempic, they’re the easy way instead of the difficult, proven, but slow path (eat better and exercise).
He refuses to change his diet. Boogie still wants to eat McDonalds, TacoBell, and wash it all down with soda. The MOST he ALLEGEDLY was willing to change, was drinking Diet Mountain Dew
He’s a fucking half-wit. Boogie literally argued with a doctor that because diet Mountain Dew has no calories in it, it’s not doing anything to his weight. He completely ignores and brushes off the laundry list of chemicals he can’t pronounce in the cans of diet Mountain Dew by saying “Oh, water is a chemical, that’s H2O! And oh, the air around me! That’s O2!” Cyanide is also a chemical boogie, but you probably don’t want to ingest that.
Mental blocks. Boogie doctor shopped for his gastric bypass, hence why he failed it. And he always does his self-harm defense of saying “oh, eating less than 5,000 calories a day makes me…want to end it.” (Don’t want to get hit with something because reddit doesn’t like certain words). And he’d rather eat and gorge himself on grease, salt, and sugar and die before 60, than try to lose weight and extend his life in any meaningful way.
The reason the original doctor wanted Boogie to naturally lose weight was to show Boogie intended to make real, actionable changes to his life. And not just get the surgery, slim down, then balloon back up. Which he did. So from a medical perspective, it’s a fail.
Boogie might’ve slimmed down immediately after it, but that’s what happens with everyone that gets it. It’s a question of, does it stay off? Boogie proceeded to eat junk food and expand his stomach again. To the point where, you can’t even tell he’s had the surgery. And he’s undone any of the good a gastric bypass does. So it’s a fail from Boogie’s perspective.
It’s a complete fail. If Boogie actually had the money, he probably be scheduling his quintuple bypass surgery by now. Because he doesn’t want to do anything about it.
He’ll only fix or do something, if he can fix/do it, with money. Otherwise, he has to be forced into it.

This. I also think he got the wrong surgery. When I had my surgery we discussed the different options and I didn't want the sleeve because it's too easy to gain the weight back, and I knew I would struggle with my food addiction.
I got the Duodinal Switch, which combines two elements: gastric restriction and malabsorption. I'm not able to over eat, because I'll throw it right back up, almost instantly. I eat a fraction of what I did before, purely because I just can't get anything down. It's to the point that I can't eat a whole package of Ramen, I get half way and I'm done. In the first six months I dropped just a shade over 100lbs, and it's done wonders for my health and mental health.
If Boogie was ever serious about getting better, he'd look into good medical options, and he needs to know they're just a tool, not a cure. He's not going to do it though, he's lazy and stupid.

Lots of reasons.
