Weight-Loss Surgery May Be Beneficial for Diabetes

Why osteoporosis, when he is taking calcium and presumably "D" in his vitamins? The reason is in a part of the thread that got trimmed out: My husband had weight loss surgery in 2002 and he has been free of diabetes since then. He eats whatever he wants and he is doing fine. I am not saying everyone should have surgery and I am not saying that surgery is the way to go, I am just telling you what happened to him. After weight loss surgery every type of deficiency related problem needs to be considered and the common ones tested for. This procedure works because it reduces the amount of eating, at least at one time, and by causing malabsorption? |

I hope your husband avoids the osteoporosis that seems to follow WLS for those folks followed up longer term. Something to keep a careful eye on over time. FUD against eating less. |
