Why is Bariatric Surgery So Effective?

[@teresaosburn8840]

i love this video! i had gastric bypass surgery 5 1/2 years ago, started at 402 am now down to 144 , best decision i ever made, hardly ever hungry, only gained 6 lbs during that time and it came right off! Just wish i had done it years ago! I feel so much better now! But this video really explains things.

This is a great presentation

I found this very informative and worthwhile to watch even though I do not have a medical background. Thank you!

I have my sleeve surgery in a couple weeks and I am watching all the info I can find so I can maximize the effectiveness of the tool I'll have with this. If there's a tip, piece of knowledge etc that'll help me, I want it! Teach me sir!

​@jc9876 thank you! Overall it's 7x safer than having your gallbladder taken out so although nothing is fool proof I think most of the fatalities are probably those who are extremely obese like over 600lbs where it's very very dangerous and those who did not follow the post op dietary and activity instructions.

hello, how did the surgery go and how are feeling post op? how is your mental health? I'm on the list for this surgery and I have so many questions

@@jc9876and how does that 1% risk of dying (which includes those with extremely high BMI’s and complex health issues) compare with the risks of remaining obese?

[@nicolechip]

@@jc9876 The risk of death isn't 1 in one hundred. It's less than 1 in one thousand, according to the 2021 Perioperative mortality in bariatric surgery: meta-analysis in the British Journal of Surgery, which looked at outcomes for 3.6 million bariatric patients. If you're serious about wanting the surgery, you should speak with a doctor about how the risks and benefits of the procedure pertain to your unique health situation.

[@thomasreedy4751]

How so? Medical treatment is highly dependent on how different populations of groups react to the treatments. Why do specific adherents to political ideologies feel that their political beliefs are more important than facts proven through the scientific method? What ever your definition of science is, it isn’t woke. Science has been around hundreds of years before the term woke was even coined.

woke? how is this woke?

[@Fudgeey]

@@Daisynottheflower Poverty is directly linked to increased rates of obesity. Apparently discussing how to make weight loss surgery accessible for the poor = "woke" in this clown's psyche.
