Weight Loss Surgery SECRETS

A few days ago, I asked you to tell me what you wanted to know about WLS.

And do you know what the common thread was amongst all of your responses…….you want the ‘real’ truth, not what surgeons ’say’ is the truth.

Are you surprised? I’m not.

You have worked out that a lot of what is offered to you as ‘fact’ by those involved in the industry, is in truth marketing spin. That’s why I’m on a crusade to provide you with some real information.

Why am I telling you this?

Because it’s the reason behind the idea that became Weight_Loss Surgery SECRETS.

And the good news………almost all of your questions are covered in detail in Weight_Loss Surgery SECRETS. If you haven’t seen it yet:

Now, here are your 3 most burning questions and some short answers.

Your 3 top questions about WLS are….

Q1. What are the risks of WLS and does it outweigh the outcome?

A1. WLS patients have about a 1 in 5 chance of suffering complications while in hospital and a 40% chance of complications in the first 6 months. There is also a small risk of death. As you get older, the risks increase.

Whether the risks outweigh the benefits is personal question only you can answer.

Q2. What are the chances of regaining the weight after the surgery?

A2. In 2004 it was reported that 20-30% of patients regain weight at 18 months to 2 years after surgery. There are a lot of theories as to why this occurs, but the inability to keep to a strict post-surgery diet is often at the heart of these failures.

Q3. What are the long term risks of WLS?

A3. The fact is, the long term impacts of WLS are still relatively poorly understood. That’s not too surprising when you consider that the Lap-Band system was only approved for use by the FDA in 2001.

Some of the longer term risks include:

• hernia
• nutritional deficiencies
• gall stones requiring gall bladder removal
• osteoporosis

I will try to provide some more detailed answers to these questions in the next few days.

Take care
