It’s been a while since we’ve seen Rob Kardashian happily step out with his famous family but it seems that may soon change – he’s reportedly considering gastric bypass surgery in a bid to lose weight.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has taken a step back from the show that made him famous in recent years after apparently gaining around 100lbs, and has become more of a recluse.

And he is now said to be looking at drastic options to overhaul his appearance and health.

A source told RadarOnline: “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 looked into having gastric bypass surgery. He has tried to get the weight off before and feels that the surgery would be the safest and easiest way for him to do so.”

The surgery would see doctors use staples to create smaller area above his stomach to take its place and food would bypass to the small intestine.

It would mean that fewer calories are absorbed and the person needs less food intake.

Is this a step too far?
