There is a charlatan surgeon hawking WLS on a forum called Thinner Times Forum. Troll the shit out of that forum. I posed the following questions to him and I am now waiting for a reply. Most likely I will be banned. I was banned for asking the cocksucker some questions.
For you gluttons reading this; if you opt for WLS you are an impulsive fool... and isn't poor impulse control the thing made you fat?
Howdy Doc,
0ver 4000 surgeries WOW! You must be rolling in the dough! Excluding weekends, that's about one surgery a day. NOTE: Some surgeons do 5 surgeries per day. While the average salary of bariatric butcher is $500,000 that is not their only financial compensation. If a bariatric butcher has his own practice he's going to rake in MILLIONS each year.
NOTE: The average cost of gastric bypass surgery is $23,000, the average cost of lap band is $14,500, and the average cost of sleeve gastrectomy surgery is $14,900. So before getting too involved, spend time determining if your insurance will cover weight loss surgery. $23,000 X 4000 = $92,000,000 This cocksucker put $92,000,000 in his pocket. Sure he had some expenses but this fucker is also making big bucks on office visits and revision surgeries not to mention the kickbacks he's getting from the medical device companies and the pharmaceutical gangsters.
I opted to lose my weight by eating less and moving more and I decided to do in part because of the risks of surgery but there are people who didn't have the support I had so they need to be forced to eat less and have their small intestines shortened so that they have a more difficult time circumventing the stomach part of it. There are fatlings who may not need the mal-absorption part because they are more disciplined so why not just give them the gastric balloon along with an incremental reduction in calories?
It has boggled my mind that presurgical preparations include VLC diets with that awful Medifast and as we know, that is a recipe for gallbladder disease and possibly ketogenic-psychosis. As you know the BMR of a 400 pounder is around 4000 calories per day and we both know that if a 400 pounder is fed 4000 calories per day they will lose about 4 pounds per week.
What is the rationale of using a surgical procedure that results in a permanently damaged digestive system to fix a neuro-behavioral issue?
I think that the balloon has a good chance of changing the behavior of the glutton so I think it is only fair to the gluttonous patient to try that method of intervention first. Your thoughts?
NOTE: Because the gastric balloon is an outpatient procedure it pays far less than WLS.
