Think Long and Hard Before Doing This.

Nothing to dispute, since you have yet to post any facts, but we're waiting.



I fart ponies. That's a fact, unless you prove me wrong. 

I kind of want a pony but now I'm wondering how to make sure I don't get me one of those Ass Ponies.

And a DS pony to boot - they might be stinky.

Again...here are the facts that prove you wrong...the actual study instead of a link to what a couple of CBS news reporters THOUGHT the story said.

Yehuda...you should be spending your time healing and not creating battles on the main board.  We are all happy you were able to have your revision.  Please spend your time more wisely.

** and if your were not given the "honest" truth....then YOU didn't do your research.  It is well documented about the risks...I know...mine are starting to show up.  BUT, If you were prepared and realized your surgeon hadn't informed you correctly...why would your let him CUT on you. 

I don't think it's Yehuda. He has already posted on this thread calling this person out.

Just because Yehuda has posted calling this person out, doesn't mean he doesn't have a second account just so he can do this.

Since we can't tell who is online at any given time, it's hard to tell but even if he were online as Yehuda, doesn't mean he can't also be online as RNYDisaster...just open two different browsers and sign in as two different people.

PM me for details.

You are absolutely right except for where you are so wrong.  There WAS a study that told of a 2% mortality rate in the 30 days post bariatric surgery...are you ready...because this is the important part and the part you left out...FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS in that study.


Think about that for a minute.  How can you be a Medicare patient?  You can be very old...like me...I'll be getting Medicare in January.  OR you can be very, very sick.  VERY sick.  Unable to work.  Unable to support yourself.  So sick you qualify for Medicare as part of your disability...no easy feat, and the only person I ever helped apply for SS Disability and Medicare got her third denial a week after she died.  These people are very sick.

So yes, in ONE study of VERY, VERY sick and VERY, VERY disabled people, TWO out of a hundred of those poor folks did die in the 30 days postop.  But I remember a couple of them here and they went into the surgery as a last-ditch, go-for-broke, I'm gonna die-any-minute-anyway kind of thing.


However your thinking that those numbers apply to the population at large shows that you didn't read the study and don't know what you're talking about.

Sorry about your ignorance.

You need to put at least as much effort into fixing your problem...whatever the hell it might be...as you do quoting inaccurate sources.
