WHY NOT TO GET SURGERY PLS READ
« on: January 13, 2012, 12:09:18 PM »
First I would like to ask everyone to pray for my twin sister Michelle who has been admitted into the hospital for a possible bowel obstructions, severe kidney infection and hernia.

My twin sister had gastric by pass surgery back in 1999 and the stupid Dr who didn't even know what he was doing rupture her spleen which she lost and also did not perform the surgery correctly. She has through out the year become malnutrition, has skin issues, has had pneumonia many times. Last year she almost had septic shock due to an obstruction and had emergency surgery and Thank God that these surgeon where able to repair the damage pretty well considering all the scarring and damaging that has taken place..

She will NEVER be the same..I often fear the worst as I was fearing it this morning until I prayed.  weight loss surgery is NOT the way to go.. I know that we can become desperate at times, but apply that energy and make it work by changing your lifestyle...

I too am praying for your sister, Alex.

Sadly, what often seems like the easy way out, is the worst way to go!
What you do today is what matters!

Hi Um pa,

Thanks everyone for the prayers.. She was finally discharged.. Sorry for the TMI.. She is literally backed up with poop... Her kidneys have a serious infection and she has developed a hernia.. She is on heavy duty antibiotics, painkillers and must take fiber pills.. Her abdominal swelling has gone down drastically..I already told her that her way of eating is not healthy.. I told her that I feel that the high carb life she leads is causing this or contributing to it.. I recommended flax seed and have told how healthy and beneficial it is to eat the F2S way.. When she stayed with me thats all she ate at my house..

weight loss surgery is just NOT the way to go.. Look at all these issues at 38 yrs old... At times I feel she will have a short life because of all the complications she has had already...
Alex
