Long Term Complications Of Weight Loss Surgery

http://www.mayoclinic.org/bariatric-surgery/complications.html

One complication of gastric bypass surgery may be the development of an ulcer where the small intestine is attached to the upper part of the stomach. Ulcers may occur in 5 percent of people who have gastric bypass surgery. Ulcers are most common in people who take aspirin or other medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs).

A hernia or weakness in the incision occurs in about 15 percent of people who have weight-reduction surgery. This usually requires surgical repair, depending on the symptoms and the extent of the hernia. Patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery have a hernia rate of  2 percent.

A complication is a narrowing or "stricture" of the stoma (opening) between the stomach and intestine. This also may require another surgery, or more commonly an outpatient procedure that expands the narrowed area with a dilating tube that is passed to the stomach through the mouth.

Mayo Clinic physicians have recognized and reported on a serious complication following gastric bypass called NIPHS (non-insulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome) or post-bariatric surgery hypoglycemia. This is characterized by very low blood sugar levels after eating that results in severe neurologic symptoms, including visual disturbances, confusion and  seizures.

Mayo physicians in Rochester have evaluated and treated several patients with NIPHS. When medical and diet therapy fail, surgical removal of part of the pancreas has resulted in marked improvement of symptoms for most. If symptoms described above occur, patients should notify their physician immediately. Until this condition is controlled, patients should avoid driving motorized vehicles or performing tasks that could effect the safety of those around them.

After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass the body cannot not absorb certain vitamins and minerals. Long-term complications of this malabsorption may include the following:

• Anemia due to deficiency of iron or vitamin B12
• Neurologic complications from vitamin B12 deficiency
• Kidney stone disease due to changes in how the body absorbs calcium and oxalate
• Possible bone disease due to mineral or vitamin D deficiency

Follow-up visits with the physician will determine which vitamin and mineral supplements are necessary after surgery. The need for vitamin and mineral supplements is especially true for people who have a very long limb Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, because this surgery can be associated with frequent diarrhea and failure to absorb enough calcium and iron.

Dehydration is a complication following weight-reduction surgery, as patients are no longer able to drink large quantities of liquid at one time.

In the first three to six months, the patient may experience one or more of the following changes as the body reacts to rapid weight loss:

• Body aches
• Feeling tired, like one has the flu
• Feeling cold when others feel comfortable
• Dry skin
• Hair thinning and hair loss
• Changes in mood
• Relationship issues

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.

Here are some diabetic amputations. Enjoy!

Think Gastric Sleeve is Safe? Think Again!

Look at these butchers operating with chopsticks.

In this barbaric procedure 3/4 of the stomach is removed. The problem with that is, we need our entire stomach for proper digestion of the proper foods. After your stomach has been butchered it can not do it necessary role in the digestive process.

The aftercare for all weight loss surgery is substandard. They will tell you that it is ok to eat right after the procedure. Complications mean more money for these thugs.

What's the death rate from Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

The industry will tell you that the death rate from gastric sleeve surgery is one in 400. That's a lie. The industry will tell you that the death rate from gastric bypass is one in 200 when the real number is one in 50 and that is just within the first 30 days. It's hard to find good data on the actual death rate but based on the industry lies a reasonable guess would be one in 100.

When a fool asks one of these butchers what the death rate is they will cite industry numbers but they will plan claim that their death rate is much lower. Chances are they are lying. That is what criminal types do.

Maybe you would be better off dead?!

Adverse Effects of Weight Loss Surgery

Complications from weight loss surgery are frequent. A study of insurance claims of 2522 who had undergone bariatric surgery showed 21.9% complications during the initial hospital stay and a total of 40% risk of complications in the subsequent six months. This was more common in those over 40 and led to an increased health care expenditure. Common problems were gastric dumping syndrome in about 20% (bloating and diarrhea after eating, necessitating small meals or medication), leaks at the surgical site (12%), incisional hernia (7%), infections (6%) and pneumonia (4%). Mortality was 0.2%.^[30] As the rate of complications appears to be reduced when the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon, guidelines recommend that surgery be performed in dedicated or experienced units.^[4]

Metabolic bone disease manifesting as osteopenia and secondary hyperparathyroidism have been reported after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery due to reduced calcium absorption. The highest concentration of calcium transporters is in the duodenum. Since the ingested food will not pass through the duodenum after a bypass procedure, calcium levels in the blood may decrease, causing secondary hyperparathyroidism, increase in bone turnover, and a decrease in bone mass. Increased risk of fracture has also been linked to bariatric surgery.^[31]

Rapid weight loss after obesity surgery can contribute to the development of gallstones as well by increasing the lithogenicity of bile. Adverse effects on the kidneys have been studied. Hyperoxaluria that can potentially lead to oxalate nephropathy and irreversible renal failure is the most significant abnormality seen on urine chemistry studies. Rhabdomyolysis leading to acute kidney injury, and impaired renal handling of acid and base has been reported after bypass surgery.

Nutritional derangements due to deficiencies of micronutrients like iron, vitamin B12, fat soluble vitamins, thiamine, and folate are especially common after malabsorptive bariatric procedures.

Seizures due to hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia have been reported. Inappropriate insulin secretion secondary to islet cell hyperplasia, called pancreatic nesidioblastosis, might explain this syndrome.<sup>[32]

The death rate for gastric bypass is 1 in 50!</sup>
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.

Only A Fool Would Pay a Surgeon To Destroy Their Digestive System

If you're fat, it has nothing to do with your digestive system. Your digestive system is not the problem. Having gastric bypass surgery because you eat too much instead of controlling your eating the responsible and old-fashioned way is like going to a doctor because you bite your fingernails and then having the Dr. cut off your fingers. Removing your currently healthy digestive system simply because lack the will or the ambition to learn how to eat correctly and do it is insanity. Any Dr. who recommend or perform gastric bypass surgery is a piece of shit.

What you are doing is a choice. Every morsel of food you shove into your mouth is a result of a choice. When you choose this behavior you choose a consequences and you know the consequences of obesity are bad health. The pleasure that you derive from food far outweighs your sense of social and personal responsibility. There is a word for people like you, is called glutton. So take a good look in the mirror and tell that person staring back at you that he or she to the greedy and selfish glutton. The first stepped in solving a problem is to correctly identify diet and then own it. Grow up in on the fact that you are glutton.

You need to ask yourself whether your perceived inability to learn proper nutrition and apply it to your lifestyle is a matter of can't or a matter of won't. If you are even half way honest you know that it's a matter of won't but because you're poor impulse control and because you're intellectually lazy and intellectually dishonest you will probably let some slick moneygrubbing Dr. talk you into the barbaric procedure known as weight loss surgery.

Obesity has proven many things about your character. It proves that you choose blissful ignorance over knowledge. It proves that you place your hedonistic pleasure above your loved ones. Your obesity proves that food is more important to you than your spouse. Your lust for food is clearly stronger than your love for your children.

If you get gastric bypass surgery there is a one in 50 chance that you will die within 30 days of the procedure. Most surgeons will not tell you that. There industry will tell you that the mortality rate is 100 or one in 200. There industry for the bunch of liars.

If you get gastric bypass surgery and you survive you will face a life of malnutrition and constant digestive problems such as dumping syndrome. You are never addressed the reasons for why you behave in such a blatantly selfish manner.

Here you go stupid... You need to eat less any need to move more and when you do that you will lose weight. If you never remember anything in your miserable life remember this. If you are a female and you eat 2000 cal a day the most weight you can maintain his 140 pounds. If you are active you will be able the maintain much less. If you are a man and you eat 2500 cal a day the most weight you'll be able to maintain his 160 pounds. If you're active you'll be able to maintain much less weight. That's reality and if anybody tells you anything different than that they are a liar and or and idiot and if you believe them you are an idiot so maybe you should pay that surgeon $60,000 to fuck you up.

Gastric Bypass Versus Dieting

Gastric bypass and dieting for weight loss to do the same thing and that is calorie restriction. Dieting causes calorie restriction when the dieter consciously decides which foods to eat and which foods to avoid. Typically a weight-loss diet includes low-calorie foods. A good weight loss diet not only includes low-calorie foods but it includes foods high in fiber, nutrients and protein. Weight loss surgery also restricts calories but it does it by two methods. The two methods employed by weight loss surgery for calorie restriction are restriction and or malabsorption.



Laparoscopic banding is a form of restriction. A surgeon/butcher places a band around the upper reaches of the stomach causing a stricture that slows the transport of food into the stomach. This forces the patient/victim to eat more slowly. It also makes it impossible for the patient/victim to get adequate fibrous foods low in calories so the patient ends up eating high calorie foods because there hunger cues become very powerful. Stomach stapling is another form of restriction.



Gastric bypass uses both restriction and malabsorption. During gastric bypass butchering the surgeon/butcher goes in with a stapler and reduces the size of the stomach he then reroutes the intestines so that only a small part of the small intestine actually receives food from the stomach. 90% of digestion and nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine.

There is no way to accurately to know or control how many calories and nutrients actually be absorbed after gastric bypass surgery. Gastric bypass victims end up living on protein shakes. Nearly all gastric bypass victims suffer from malabsorption syndrome. Not only do they absorb less calories from the food they eat they also absorb less vitamins and minerals and that gets compounded by the fact that they are unable to eat nutrient dense foods to begin with. Is also been shown that nutritional supplementation does little to correct this problem. In fact the weight loss surgery victim suffers from serious malnutrition. If you don't believe me Google it.

Dieting for weight loss avoids all the problems of weight loss surgery. The dieter can eat any food he or she chooses. The dieter does not face a one and 50 chance of dying simply by eating less and moving more. The dieter has a chance to learn better eating habits and control how rapidly he or she loses weight. This is important for several reasons. Rapid weight loss is very dangerous. It can also result in stretch marks on the skin and gallbladder disease among other problems.

Greedy surgeons won't tell you how lose weight safely and easily but I will.

Let's start with some basic facts about metabolism.

You may hear a lot of people saying that they have a slow metabolism. You've probably seen ads on television saying that certain products can rev up your metabolism. This is mostly a lie. The basal metabolic rate and humans varies by about 35 cal per day in individuals of the same age weight and gender. That represents a piece of hard candy or walk around the block.

To calculate your approximate basal metabolic rate multiply your body weight in pounds by 10. If you would like a more accurate measurement of your basal metabolic rate go to an online metabolic calculator and simply put in the numbers that it suggests.

Basal metabolic rates are higher for men than they are for women. Basal metabolic rate as defined by Wikipedia: Basal metabolic rate (BMR), and the closely related resting metabolic rate (RMR), is the amount of energy expended daily by humans and other animals at rest. Rest is defined as existing in a neutrally temperate environment while in the post-absorptive state. In plants, different considerations apply.

There is very little you can do to increase your basal metabolic rate. If you get heavy your basal metabolic rate will increase and when you lose weight your basal metabolic rate will decrease. Some foods can slightly increase your basal metabolic rate but their effect is generally insignificant. Forget the idea that you are fat because you have a slow metabolism. Accept the fact that you are fat because you eat too much and is sedentary.

When most people decide to lose weight they see it as a war against fat. The problem with that is, fat is not the enemy, the enemy's behavior. The behaviors that cause people to eat too much can be fairly complex and these behaviors are driven by a variety of factors. Hunger is a powerful motivator, so in order to lose weight and keep it off the dieter needs a strategy to control hunger.

Without going into any detail explanation going to tell you how lose weight and not be hungry and have success. I could get into the psychological reasons for why you are a glutton but for now just accept the fact that you are fat and your fat because you are a glutton. You need to decide whether the pleasure derived from food is more important to you then the benefits and the personal responsibility of being lean and healthy. Most people choose delicious food over good health and personal and social responsibility. I cannot make you have an epiphany to decide to choose good health and responsibility over gluttonous hedonism but I can give you the best mechanics for weight loss that you will find anywhere.

The mechanics of weight loss.

Let's say that you are a 300 pound lummox. Your doctor has told you that the majority of your health problems are due to your obesity and the cure for your melodies is reducing your body weight. Unfortunately your doctor is too stupid and uncaring to tell you how to do it. I'm not tired do it.

1. Calculate your basal metabolic rate. If you are 300 pounds and mail then your basal metabolic rate will be about 3000 + 10% cal per day. If you're female it will be a little less than 3000 calories per day. FREE METABOLIC CALCULATOR

2. you will be reducing your calories by about 2000 cal per day because currently if you are a slightly active male and 300 pounds you are eating close to 5000 cal a day to maintain your weight. If you're female we were eating 4500 cal per day to maintain your weight. In both cases that's double the amount of calories required for normal human being.

3. Even if you have the discipline of a normal person this about calorie reduction will result in hunger but since we are weak willed you're going to need strategies to deal with the hunger. Normal people call the feeling that we get in our stomach hunger pangs but fat people refer to this as hunger pains. That rumbling we have in our tummies is not painful. It is merely a signal from our brains reminding us that it's time to eat something. Fat people so indulge this feeling that hunger becomes an itch that they just love to scratch and they do it with great zeal. In a sense it is a psychological addiction and on some levels it can be argued that it is a physical addiction as well.

The strategy for dealing with hunger is to come up with ways of controlling that hunger. The best way to control hunger is to eat frequently. This means to eat every two or three hours. It also means eating smart and eating smart means eating healthy wholesome foods that are filling. The greatest food for controlling hunger is protein. The next greatest foods for controlling hunger are foods that are low in calories but contain a lot of fiber. If you have gastric bypass surgery it's impossible to get even the minimum amount of fiber in your meals.

Use your head and get educated about nutrition. You have decided to remain ignorant regarding nutrition. Because you're lazy you're going to listen to a greedy Dr. but that's only going to get you into more trouble. At this point you need to decide to stop being intellectually lazy.

If you eat every few hours and you include the right foods we are not going to be hungry. If your daily caloric intake remains at your basal metabolic rate you will lose 1 pound per week per 100 pounds of body weight. I will repeat. If your daily caloric intake remains at your basal metabolic rate you will lose 1 pound per week per 100 pounds of body weight. If you disagree with that it only proves one thing. Your stupid and maybe you should let some greedy surgeon wreck your perfectly healthy digestive system.

4.Create those meals. Waddle your fat ass to the supermarket and buy foods that are high in fiber and high in protein and from those foods create six meals that total your basal metabolic rate in calories. Make sure that those meals contain at least .5 g of protein per pound of bodyweight. The minimum daily fiber requirement is 38 g but you to will be eating much more than that. Learn foods that are low in calories and are good sources of fiber and keep them.

5. Count calories! Anyone who tells you that calories don't count is a lying sack of shit. Calories count and calorie is a calorie is a calorie. Here's a more facts you should know because you're probably too lazy to look them up. A gram of carbohydrates contains 4 cal. A gram of protein contains 4 cal. A gram of alcohol contains 6 cal and a gram of fat contains a whopping 9 cal. Connect the dots. If you're thinking about the low-carb insanity then you're an idiot. Low-carb has been around since the 1970s. It didn't work then and it won't work now.

There is no reason for why you can't create and eat six meals a day that are equal in calories to your basal metabolic rate. What you need to admit about your failure to maintain a normal healthy weight is it was never a matter of can't but always a matter of won't. You need to admit to yourself that you remained blissfully ignorant about basic nutrition. You need to admit yourself that time and time again you selected and eight foods that you knew would make you fat. You need to admit yourself that you habitually placed your hedonistic pleasures before personal social and in many cases parental responsibilities.

You can hate me all you want for telling the truth but maybe some of you will thank me. There are some people who would not exploit your moral failings and there are some people who would exploit your moral failings in a heartbeat.

In a month be only to recalculate and that means he will need to readjust your caloric intake. This incremental approach is a safe and sane way to attain and maintain a healthy body weight. Because this takes six months to year you will read learn new habits and reprogram the neurology involved in hunger. You may have to remain vigilant but in most cases people who do this completely reform the relationship with food.
