Researchers say the dramatic surge in weight loss (bariatric) surgery is due to both a rise in publicity for the obesity treatment as well as development of less-invasive, laparoscopic techniques in recent years. Read the entire article: Gastric ByPass Rates Soar.
TINY post-surgery stomach!
Do you really thing that this is how our body was designed to function? I think NOT! 450% growth! If a business grew at this rate, it would be miraculous, but the fact that this is a surgical procedure, I think we should call it alarming for a few reasons:That enough people are morbidly obese enough to qualify for the surgery (and that is questionable in that some people actually GAIN weight on purpose so they qualify.
That so many people are opting to have it done when it is possible to lose weight NON-surgically! (I am living proof of that, thousands of my readers prove it every day AND a man has a blog about how he is simply following the POST Gastric Bypass "diet" without having had his stomach mutilated and is losing weight)
We don't know the long term affects of the surgery - it isn't a permanent solution, i.e Carnie Wilson, etc...(No, Carnie, you didn't gain weight "because you were pregnant--that condition recommends a 20-25 lb gain--you gained over 70 pounds because you ATE what you wanted to and rationalized it was "eating for two". Your new cookbook and macroni to die for interview proves that dispite your mangled stomach, you still LOVE food--that is the issue!)
Nutrients are not able to be absorbed post-GB as they should be and untold health conditions are popping up.
Enough reasons to think twice about having it? Two weeks ago, I was speaking with one of my One on One clients. She was quite upset. Her co-workers brother in law had undergone Gastric Bypass and was now lying dying in critical care. He developed and infection as had to be sliced open, neck to belly button and couldn't be closed up due to his size. Last I heard, he was lying in the critical care unit of a trauma hospital. They are trying to skin graft him so they can use his skin to close his body up--if he lives long enough to do so. He has died twice but they were able to revive him, thankfully.
The real shame of this story is that he didn't really want the surgery. It wasn't something he had considered, until his company approached him with it. They wanted to save money on their healthcare costs so they were "offering all the fat people the chance to have the surgery done and get healthy". I don't think that will be much consolation to his two young children or his wife.
Too sad. The very conditions that make someone a candidate for the surgery are the very same conditions that make it very dangerous for them to undergo ANY surgery. I don't care how much hate mail I get from the Pro-mutilation folks, I am NOT backing down! Gastric Bypass surgery is VERY dangerous. Simply giving up a person's few worst vices IS NOT. I have helped at least a dozen women who were considering having the surgery to lose weight personally via my One on One program and many hungreds of others did it on their own using my LifeChanger program.
If I can lose 130 pounds and KEEP it off for 10+ years, ANYONE can! I am 100% sure that my approach will HELP and will never HURT anyone!!!
Get started on it today, Day One is on me:
