Chp 3: Chloe's Bariatric Surgery Journey, After Surgery 

What was ur recovery time? was there any complications

I'm also a mother of 6. The recovery was so painful that if I could I rather do over my 6 labors one right after another then to go thru this. But it's been 3 months since surgery and I have lost almost 50pounds. I'm just worried being that I can't hold anything down that I'll get too skinny

How is it going?

They don’t give this surgery out to patients just because they’re overweight. They have to go through classes and loose weight prior. Some programs include a period where they have to do partial liquid diet and loose a certain number of pounds depending on their BMI, psychological eval, to even qualify to get scheduled for surgery. This is a beneficial tool for many people that vastly improves their life, so that they can start to exercise and move around without hurting themselves with the amount of weight they are carrying. There is nothing wrong with loosing weight this way, as long as the weight is lost.

A person is more than their brain and a persons body may fight a brains will. Surgery changes a person’s appetite and alters a person’s metabolism. Maybe, if she ran a marathon every day, she could maintain a healthy weight without surgery - but that isn’t sustainable. Look at the stats of those on the “biggest loser” who lost the weight but couldn’t maintain the weight loss. It is your prerogative to be judgmental, and instead of researching the science - make such claims. However, I for one will continue to listen to the medical experts who have evidence of extending people’s lives by treating obesity rather than criticizing their willpower.
