Is this true????

In my research on a personal impact level I watched a blog on YouTube who had stated she was told this surgery ( gastric bypass) in the U.S will take 10-15 years off her life span. Has anyone been told the same in such blunt terms??

ive not heard anything like this b4 nor have i read anything that said that =) x

I would of thought it would increase your life span?!

 

[Badgerpink]

That's what I thought surely I was really shocked to hear that in blunt terms so hence me asking. Hmmm

Being fat would take 10 to 15 years off your lifespan!

That blog was obviously wrong, it's the other way around, not having the bypass will knock 10 to 15 years off or even more in the larger patient cases.

Speaking for myself, I'd rather have 20 fab years than 40 years still miserable and fat, anyday!!!

Unless it means you are more likely to die doing something stupid like absailing down a mountain or bungee jumping once you are thin, that might work
