Gastric bypass surgery?

My son died from complications from this surgery. Doctors failed to detect a puncture to his intestine. What bothered me, was no doctor would order him a one month liquid diet to see if he could lose weight. Yet, this is excatly what you have to do when you have a bypass surgery. No solids for two weeks prior or after. Hmmm. makes one wonder. If the one-month liquid diet is unsafe, why is it OK if you are having bypass surgery. could it be....... that you just might LOSE WEIGHT without needing surgery ????? (and the surgeons lose money??) The Gastric Center was a factory line, get them in get them out. Yet, those 'disgustingly obese 400lb-ers were no were to be found there. They were deemed too-high risk for the surgery. Generally 5'5 women weighed over 225 lbs.+ were the typical patient. How dngerously 'morbidly obese' is that ??? and most of these 225lb-ers had counsling, and were found to 'be highly unlikely' to lose weight by diet and excersise. this surgery is a business.

I agree with you completely. I dont think they really evaluate a person at all. They hand out these surgeries like candy! Its just a pathetic world we live in today. Everyone wants an ez fix, no matter the cost. I am sorry to hear about your son.
