Repeat Gastric Bypass Surgery - Without Cutting

Here is why this story has value. I have added the emphasis.

"Like a lot of patients who undergo weight loss surgery, initial results for Millie Coleman were astounding. She lost more than half her body weight - dropping from more than 380 pounds to less than 160. But over the years, the pounds and the anxiety began creeping back into her life...

With the stress of going back to college, Millie had put back on more than 40 pounds that she'd lost after her first surgery. Doctors say that's fairly common. Gastric bypass works by creating a pouch in the stomach to hold smaller amounts of food. Over time, it can loosen.

'The pouches can stretch out probably 10 to 20% over the course of 3 to 5 years,' says Dean Mikami, MD, at Ohio State University Medical Center.

Doctors often have to do follow up surgery to tighten up the pouches. But cutting the patient open again can carry a lot of risk."

Bottom line: you get the surgery, its results are temporary, you get fat again and need more surgery.

All this on top of the fact that bariatric surgery is malpractice.
