Thinner Times Forum

Thinner Times Forum is an industry-sponsored website and forum set up to lure fatlings into the weight loss surgery meat grinder. I think they hire shills to sell the idea of paying a butcher/surgeon to wreck your digestive system while playing down the dangers and the live long complication. We have our investigative reporters on that forum posing as pre and post WLS patients. Thinner Times Forum is a classic example of guerrilla marketing so we at Gastric Bypass Kills thought we would return the favor with some guerilla journalism and you, our readers, can help.

Click the link to Thinner Times Forum and register there and start posting. Eventually, start sneaking in facts. Be the classic concern troll. Post links to the articles here that post show the real death and complication rate of WLS surgery and its high failure rate. Unfortunately, most online information regarding the success rates, complication rates and death rates from this butchery is industry propaganda. They will tell you that the odds of dying are 1 in 200. That is a lie for two reasons. Reason number one is that 1 in 200 is based on the first 30 days post surgery and the real death rate 30 days post surgery is 1 in 100. The real death rate is 1 in 50. The industry will like and say it isn't but the real death rate is 1 in 50.

JAMA Journal of the American Medical Association broke down the death rate for weight loss surgery as follows: The percentage of men dying (5.4%) was almost 3 times that of the women (2.0%). The percentages of black men (6.1%) and black women dying (2.3%) were higher than those of white men (5.0%) and white women (1.9%)  Keep in mind that JAMA is part of the medical industry and even they are claiming a greater than 1 in 50 death rate for weight loss surgery victims.

These butchers consider a successful surgery one where they patient lives 30 days post surgery.

Why WLS is Bad

The industry claims a 50+% success rate when it comes to weight loss but that is only for the first year and that is only with bypass type surgeries where 95% of the small intestine is bypassed. The small intestine is the organ that absorbs most of the essential nutrients and even with nutritional supplementation, you cannot absorb enough of the essential and beneficial nutrients required for good health if food can only pass through 5% of the small intestine. Doctors know this but they are too greedy to care.

Fat and Malnourished After WLS

When you don't get the nutrients you need you will develop food cravings that feel like hunger so you eat and you pick high-calorie foods like animal fats because your stomach and intestine are no longer capable of doing their jobs which is supplying your body with nutrition. You are physically unable to eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains so you end up drinking protein shakes that don't provide enough nutrition.

If you have had WLS then you are nutritionally deficient. Your intestine, what's left of it, cannot absorb most vitamins but you can absorb Vitamin B complex sublingually. As for the essential minerals; you're screwed. Vitamins are easier to absorb than minerals and a mineral supplement is make more sense than taking a vitamin supplement.

Medical Error Statistics

Alarming Trend: Medical Errors Have Increased in the U.S.

A new editorial in The Lancet medical journal cites staggering statistics that medical errors now occur in as many one-third of all U.S. hospitalizations.
The editors present other attention-getting statistics from several scientific studies establishing that medical errors remain a serious problem in the U.S. and appear to have increased over the last 10 years, despite national attention called to this problem.
The Lancet editors ask, “Why?” And, they make some suggestions that should well be considered by medical professionals, patients and caregivers, and policy makers in the U.S.

The Alarming Statistics:
The editorial, entitled, “Medical errors in the USA: human or systemic?“, appears in the April 16, 2011 Issue of The Lancet. It cites and describes the findings of several published studies on medical errors in the U.S. by recognized U.S. scientific and professional sources. Among them are the following:
  • The US Institute of Medicine’s 1999 report, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, estimated that avoidable medical errors contributed annually to 44,000—98,000 deaths in US hospitals. Hospital errors were reported to constitute the eighth leading cause of death nationally, accounting for more U.S. deaths than breast cancer, AIDS, and motor-vehicle accidents. This drew national attention to the problem.
  • Yet, more than 10 years later, the problem of medical errors remains and seems to have increased. A new study reported in the April, 2011 issue of Health Affairs, found that by one measure, medical errors occur in as many as one-third of hospital admissions in the U.S., and may be ten times greater than previously measured. “The most common are medication errors, followed by surgical errors, procedure errors, and nosocomial infections,” according to The Lancet’s review of the study.
    The study, conducted by scientists and professionals at three leading U.S. medical schools as well as at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, compared three different methods commonly used for measuring “adverse events” in hospitals: (i) voluntary reporting, (ii) the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s Patient Safety Indicators (which rely on automated review of discharge codes to detect adverse events), and (iii) the Global Trigger Tool pioneered by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (based upon independent review of medical charts, with follow up investigation where indicated).

    The study found that this third method measured at least ten times more confirmed serious medical errors than did the other two methods. As observed by The Lancet’s editorial, “This finding suggests that the two currently used methods for detecting medical errors in the USA are unreliable, underestimate the real burden, and also risk misdirection of present efforts to improve patient safety.”
  •  
  • A study reported in the November 25, 2010 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, also confirmed that medical errors in U.S. hospitals are a serious problem. The study, conducted by lead author Christopher Landrigan, M.D., M.P.H. of the Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, and a group of doctors from Harvard Medical School, Standford University School of Medicine, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, reported that even in places where local governments have made efforts to improve safety of inpatient care, such as in hospitals in North Carolina, the high rate of detected medical errors did not change over a 5-year period between 2002 and 2007.
  • A November, 2010, document from the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services reported that one in seven Medicare beneficiaries have complications from medical errors when hospitalized, and that these medical errors contribute to about 180,000 deaths of patients per year.
  • A study by Jill Van Den Bos and other professionals of Milliman’s Denver Health practice reported in the April, 2011 Issue of Health Affairs found that the measurable cost of US medical errors amounted to US $17.1 Billion in 2008 (0.72% of the $2.39 trillion spent on health care that year). Ten types of error accounted for more than two-thirds of the total cost of medical errors. The top two most costly medical errors are postoperative infections and pressure ulcers. The three most common medical errors were pressure ulcers, post-operative infections, and postlaminectomy syndrome.
  • Another study, conducted by John Goodman and associates of the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas, TX and also reported in the April, 2011 Issue of Health Affairs, reported that medical errors cause as many as 187,000 deaths in hospitals each year, and 6.1 million injuries, both in and out of hospitals in the U.S. This study estimated that the social costs, in lives lost and disabilities caused, from these medical errors amounted to between $393 Billion to $958 Billion in 2006, equivalent to 18% to 45% of total US health-care spending in that year. These authors recommended as a possible solution that patients should be “offered voluntary, no-fault insurance prior to treatment or surgery [so that they] would be compensated if they suffered an adverse event—regardless of the cause of their misfortune—and providers would have economic incentives to reduce the number of such events.”

Gastric Bypass Kills More Than One in Fifty Victims Within the First 30 Days

A recent study by researchers at the University of Washington found that 1 in 50 people die within one month of having gastric bypass surgery, and that figure jumps nearly fivefold if the surgeon is inexperienced.

The barbarians who offer this surgery to patients tell them that there death rate is 1 in 200 but that is a lie. The death toll is much higher. It is 1 in 50 within the first 30 days but even if you are lucky enough to make it past 30 days you are still not out of the woods. The complications of this deadly surgery are many and varied.

rom Bariatric Times an Industry Website

With the rising number of Roux en-Y gastric bypasses performed around the world, general surgeons should expect to face an equally rising number of early- and late-term complications. Marginal or anastomotic ulcers constitute the majority of these cases, representing as many as 52 percent of postoperative complications. Marginal ulceration is a challenging problem, which can cause significant of morbidity in other words death in the postoperative bariatric patient. Its etiology remains elusive and perhaps multifactorial, including both exogenous and intrinsic or technical factors. In addition, while prevention is key, it is often difficult to achieve. While most of these types of ulcers do respond to medical therapy, there is a select group of patients that continues to suffer from symptomatic, nonhealing ulcers, despite appropriate medical treatment, and requires surgical intervention. The current body of literature does not contain a great deal on the subject of optimal surgical management for marginal ulcers intractable to medical therapy, perhaps a reflection of marginal ulcers’ unclear etiology. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on marginal ulcers, starting with the diagnosis and medical management, and focusing on current approaches to surgical management, including innovative techniques. The goal is to recognize risk factors, promote patient adherence with treatment, and to become well versed with surgical options and preventive measures.
Doctors lie.
They will blame the patient by saying, "Well, they were fat and unhealthy to begin with." but the truth is it is not usually the co-morbid conditions of obesity that kill these people who have been suckered into this ghastly surgery it is almost always the surgery itself.

How Does it Work?

Ghastly Bypass Surgery simply makes eating and digestion very difficult. WLS takes a perfectly healthy digestive system and damages it so it cannot function properly. That IMO is insanity and bad bad bad medicine.

Weight Loss Surgery Is Really Elective Surgery 

Heart valve replacement surgery is a must for patients but it has a far far lower mortality rate than ghastly bypass.

The mortality rate for heart valve replacement surgery is only 2.4%.

That’s right. That's truth about heart valve surgery.  At some clinics, the rate has dropped to only 1.8%. When they try to hand you the malarkey that the high mortality rates are due to the pre-surgical health of the patient they are lying.

The death rate for open heart surgery nationwide is 2.14%

If you have stumbled onto this article because you are fat and sickly then maybe it's time you realize that the gluttonous lifestyle is not for you. You can eat responsibly without being forced to do so by this deadly, barbaric and ghastly procedure. You do have a choice. You can continue your gluttony and accept the fact that food and it's pleasures means more to you than anything else, even life itself or you can eat the kind of food at the amount lean people eat.

If you are one of the "lucky" ones who don't die you will suffer from the many complications that never go away and the thing thing you love the most ie FOOD will never soothe, and pleasure you again. No matter how you look at it ghastly bypass is a very bad idea.
