You might have tried eating less? (Gee, thanks.)

Blog post I found via HuffPo -

"I admit it. I’ve begun to wonder if singer Carnie Wilson’s aim is to become the poster child for people (like myself) who don’t think that invasive weight loss surgeries are the answer for most people battling excess weight.

According to People Magazine, Ms. Wilson had lap bad surgery on January 18th of this year – after having gastric bypass surgery 12 years ago. “[This new surgery] was the right decision for me," Ms. Wilson tells People, “And I’m doing really well so far. It’s all about taking good care of myself."

Taking care of yourself? Well, if that were true, you might have tried eating less, exercising more and getting plenty of rest rather than risking your life and health with another invasive weight loss surgery (especially since the first one clearly provided only a temporary fix).

As someone who lost over 250 pounds of excess weight without surgery (or pills or fad diets), I have been somewhat outspoken in regard to what I believe it really takes to permanently lose excess weight."

Oh my GOD.  Shut up.

That's all I got right now.

PlEASE  SOMEBODY  SHUT her ( or him )  UP  Lol        

While I would never wish weight gain upon anyone, I sure would not be disappointed if this ***** regained the 250 pounds they lost without surgery, pill or fad diets.  Arrogance is so unbecoming.
How about bite me... 

I really envy her ability- I didn't have it, and have a hard enough time with maintenance, let alone losing all that. And if truth be told, I would have rather not rearranged my body.

But the rigidity of her point of view leaves something to be desired.

 It's a dude.  A Huffington Post writer.

Oops, my bad...

What a pri**  er....ummmm....I mean JERK!

Doesn't he realize that we HAVE tried eating less, exercising more....and getting plenty of rest....wait, he does have a point....who has time to rest????!!! Which is why I became reliant on convenience (high calorie, high fat, empty calorie) foods. We wouldn't have changed our anatomy if that worked for us. This weight loss surgery saved MY life...and NO MATTER how much I ***** and complain about the foods I can't have, how slow I have to eat, how I have to take sips of drink, and how I have to drink constantly, and how I have to take my daily weight in vitamins , NO MATTER how many pity parties I have in a day's time...and NO MATTER how many times I ***** that my clothes are too big (WAIT! I haven't done that yet )....

I am thankful for this surgery. I'm a 44 year old woman, with a 20 year old's mind that HAD (HAD is the operative word) an 80 year old's body. This surgery is giving me my life back.

Yes dumb butt, I know that this isn't a permanent fix, it is a TOOL. Maybe if you (talking to dumb butt) had taken the time to do your research, find out about the steps that you have to take BEFORE you have the surgery (at least for the 99% of us *****ly on insurance), you wouldn't make such asinine remarks!!

You stupid dumb butt (LOL..I sound like my little nephew)

((WOW, I think I vented enough anger to take me through the next 2 hours))

slight hijack:  I've heard/seen this term quite a bit more in the last several  months than I did when I first had my surgery so I guess I'd better educate myself.

Under your surgery type Lisa it says "Mini-Gastric Bypass".  What exactly is that and how does it differ from a standary RnY?

Thanks=)

It's a dangerous surgery that isn't approved by the ASMBS.

The main guy who performs it has lost his license to practice medicine in several states.

But she just had it in March of this year, how could that happen if nobody does it anymore due to the risk.  And what exactly IS it?  What gives it the "mini" part of the name?

Sorry, still not understanding.=(
