Weight loss surgery is not only unnecessary, expensive and dangerous but also failing at high rate.
If recent Archives of Surgery study to be believed, following 82 laparoscopic banding patients over 13 years, nearly 60 percent required at least one re-operation.
Can you imagine almost 60 percent patients going for one more time under the knife for no fault of their own just to satisfy the greed of weight loss surgeons and associated drugs companies?
According to the study majority of patients ran into problems only a few years later, and there were major complications which only more surgery could fix.
According to one of the patient the band can erode into the stomach so that the wall of the stomach inside the band deteriorates.
The weight loss surgery is not the right solution to obesity issue rather it is complicating the life of patients after the surgery. List of problems and complications after the weight loss surgery operation are endless.
The simple, safe and free solution is the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, lack of which is the main cause of obesity in the first place. Even after weight loss surgery one is forced to adopt that healthy lifestyle. People should thoroughly think it through before undergoing any weight loss surgery.
