How to Piss Off a Bariatric Surgeon

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.

Plane Crashes

Every day hundreds of thousands of aircraft take off and land and every day they do it successfully and without incident. On the other hand thousands of people die every day as a result of healthcare and one of the biggest causes of death are elective surgeries collectively known as bariatric surgeries. The odds of dying from gastric bypass within the first 30 days is one and 50. The ads of dying because you chose to fly in an airplane are probably greater than 100,000,000 to 1 yet some people will still opt to take a train, ride a bus or drive your car to a distant destination. Whether you choose to fly, go by train, ride a bus or drive your car the chances of you getting to your destination safely are excellent.

A lot of people refer to losing weight as a journey. That's really a bunch of bullshit but let's go with that analogy for a moment. There's really only one way to get to any destination and that is by putting miles behind you in the only way to get to a given weight is to either add calories or subtract calories from your diet. You can do that one of two ways. You can do it by choice or by force. You can choose to eat too much or you can choose to eat the correct amount of food every day.

Think about this. You want to go from New York to Los Angeles and you can get there quickly by flying in a jet airliner or you can travel by land and that will take you over a week. You find out that one in 50 planes crash and kill everyone aboard. Are you so greedy, childish, self centered, immature and stupid that you will get aboard an aircraft and risk crashing and dying simply because it's quicker and seemingly easier? What does it say about a person who would do that? What if the airline industry lied the way the bariatric surgery industry lies and told you that only one in 200 planes crash, would you still fly?

I have outlined the mechanics of weight loss and I hope you're not too lazy to read what they are. I will quickly recap some of the highlights of how to safely lose weight and keep it off.

When you calculate your BMI and you consume that number of calories you will lose at least 1 pound per week per 100 pounds of body weight. It's called the immutable laws of physics. If you are so stupid to think that your body somehow can defy the laws of physics than go for the surgery and I hope you die idiot because you are a waste of protoplasm.

Because you are a fat in greedy glutton you want what you want when you want it. That means you have poor judgment and that means you will fall for every weight loss gimmick under the sun. The most weight that one can safely lose is 1 pound per week per 100 pounds of body weight. If you decide to go on some very low-calorie diet that you are being is irresponsible as the idiot who drives 20 miles an hour or more above the speed limit because that immature selfish piece of crap cares more about getting to his destination then he does about the other drivers on the highway. If you are trying to crash diet then you are a stupid and inconsiderate as a reckless driver.

You need to eat correctly and that means learning how to eat correctly. I've already outlined the basic and proper nutrition is. You can learn it from me or you can learn it in five minutes by googling it.

You can blame high fructose corn syrup, GMO foods, computers, TV and you can come up with even more creative excuses but none of them can circumvent the laws of physics. You don't need Dr. Oz's fat busters. What you need is a commitment to doing the right thing and if you're unwilling to do this then maybe you should go to one of these greedy and unscrupulous butchers and let them fuck you up.

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.
