60 Minutes Report—My Point of View

Now that I have had time to reflect. I want to share my point of view on the 60 Minutes show. I still believe it was just another attempt to sell an elective surgery, a totally biased one-sided report.

Nothing was said about how your entire life is turned topsy turvy after the surgery. Did it tell how many people end up losing friends they have had for years? Did it show how many couples end up

Protein Requirements After WLS

I’ve always prided myself on being an ideal post WLS patient. I take copious amounts of vitamins. I eat a blanced healthful low carb diet. I get in plenty of calories according to my BMR(basal metabolic rate) to maintain my weight. In spite of my anal like adherence to this. It still has not kept me from becoming severely malnourished.

WLS and Kids

Even before all the difficulties I have been experiencing as of late, I have always disagreed with the idea of kids having WLS.

I’ve done several posts in the past about the need for many supplements after WLS. In each one I have stated multiple times you need to be proactive in your own health care.

The OSSG Gone Wrong Yahoo Group I have recently joined has a complete list of ALL lab work that

First let me thank my online friends for their support and concern. I appreciate all of your support and encouragement.

With all this junk going on with me, I did what I normally do….research.
