Why is Bariatric Surgery So Effective? 

@@margarite60 you’re welcome!

​@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?

@@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.

​@@jc9876if you are over weight is more scary to be like that and get all kind of illness.. believe me, you will be better with the surgery... talk to your doctor but I recomend to get bypass and not the sleave ... I did and it's all good..

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.

Quit being so sensitive

@@salravioli Someone always has to "look out for" the disadvantaged... why not let the actually disadvantaged people ask?

woke? how is this woke?

@@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.
