Rob Kardashian has been struggling with weight issues for several years now, and it seems the former reality star is now ready to seek medical assistance in dropping the extra pounds.
Reports of Rob undergoing gastric bypass surgery have been around for months, and it was initially rumored that his family was opposed to the procedure.
Now, however, sources say the 28-year-old and his family are in agreement that more conventional methods might not be sufficient to help him regain his health and former physique.
Radar Online is reporting that Rob will go under the knife as early as this month to help him curb his insatiable appetite.
"Food is Rob’s vice right now and he is intent on beating this through whatever is necessary at this point," says one insider. "Rob’s whole problem right now is that he is using food as his substitute to get over his issues.
"Rob knows that being as large as he is and not being in shape is really unhealthy and not good for his heart…He has tried to get the weight off before and feels that the surgery would be safest and easiest way for him to do so."
It does seem as though the sole male Kardashian is preparing for a return to public life.
In just the past two weeks, Rob has returned to Instagram and made peace with his sister Kim.
Could a return to the trim and healthy Rob that we remember be the next step in rehabbing his image? We certainly hope so!
