I have mixed emotions about this area.

One computer buddy had it and became
fit and trim. The only problem is he was
good looking and ended up married.

But my wife's long term friend was a middle
aged T2 diabetic. He struggled and finally
looked for the surgery. Several docs rejected him.

He was able to get the surgery. He
did develop a fatal infection.



I know five people that had the bariatric surgery. They are always
sick, one has lost a lot of her hair, and what is left is very thin,
and all of them have put weight back on. It doesn't sound like it is a
surgery that is healthy no matter how much weight a person loses.

Hi Patti,

I have been contemplating it myself, but the three people I know of who have
had it have done very well, (all of them are more than a year past their
surgery) and all three swear it is the best thing they ever did.

The one thing they tell you to do to prevent the hair loss problem is not to
neglect taking the protein supplement that is always prescribed. Also,
you can eat your way through the surgery too, and re-stretch the stomach and
get fat again.


Far wiser is using the 2PD-OMER Approach to lose weight safely and
permanently without risk.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,
