Topic: RE: The "Gold Rush" to Bariatric Surgery
I don't have any forced starvation. Obviously you're ill-educated about how a DS'er eats. Malabsorption is not a disease and can be worked with. Malnutrition is a disease, and a result of someone not being proactive about their nutritional needs. There is a great amount of personal responsibility for one's own health that some people don't take seriously enough. These are the people you see in trouble further down the road. I am not one of them, and I help others not be either.

You may be at your goal weight, lower or above but after surgery RNY and others you have malabsorption and that's a disease that can kill as surely as any of the ones that you were cured of.
Also forced starvation not a good thing especially for people who want to get pregnant.

Man, I must have missed that memo because I'm 3.5 years out and still at goal (normal BMI) weight.

A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.

Topic: RE: Partial seizures epilepsy anyone?
I thought I had a type of seizure a few months ago as well, but it turned out to be a weird type of migraine. I haven't had caffeine since surgery (April 15, 2008) except for the night before this incident. Lab work was all normal so my family doctor sent me to a neurologist, who said it wasn't a seizure but was a migraine from the caffeine I had the night before. He said migraines can do all kinds of things to people, including mimicking seizures and even putting people into a coma. Needless to say, I will NEVER have caffeine again because I was scared so badly after that incident. That may not be what happened to you, but I just wanted to share my experience in case it could be.

Even if there was some truth to this report wouldnt you agree that being obese after 3 years is much better than being morbidly obese or super morbidly obese? Karen

Oh really? Then tell me why I don't fit your criteria because I'm neither obese nor do I have any health issues. I'm 4+ years post-WLS and healthy as can be.
Troll, go back to your cave.
