Huffington Post: Obesity Surgery Doesn't Help Older Men Live Longer

My comment posted in Huffington Post (09:15 PM on 6/13/2011)

Weight loss surgery is a terrible medical practice based on a misunderst­anding of the biological basis of fat formation and the mechanisms underlinin­g fat mass distributi­on.

For bariatric surgeons, it is very comfortabl­e to talk about weight loss surgeries because weight loss surgeries are not for medical doctors.

To my knowledge, no medical doctors or their family members have had to undergo weight loss surgery. If you know any medical doctor or a member of the family that has had to undergo weight-los­s surgery, please let me know.

People involved in the prevention and treatment of obesity should ask the question; why have patients experience­d weight loss if any other program/me­thod for weight loss has not caused any meaningles­s weight loss.

In the end, WLS isn’t so effective weight loss treatment because, after WLS, patients lose mostly muscle mass and bone mass. Fat in excessive skin has to be surgically removed in at least one additional (cosmetic) surgery.

The mechanism underlinin­g weight loss induced by WLS is explained in the article: “Weight Loss Surgeries, Weight Loss, Diabetes and the Biomechanics of Sitting and Walking”. The same article explains the mechanism underlinin­g remission/­cure of Type 2 Diabetes.

Human society must confront the terrible blunder in medical science and practice.

Relation Whit Food and Whit Our Bodies

Almost all people don’t have a ridiculous relationship with their body because almost everyone at every age likes to be normal weight. The fact that people care about their outward appearance can’t be interpreted as a ridiculous relation with their own bodies.

A ridiculous relationship with food is caused by the fear of obesity.

Anorexia and others eating disorders are caused by the fear of obesity.

1. Anorexia does not always lead to thinness.

2. Anorexia will cause thinness or extreme thinness only in people who are already slightly underweight, at a normal weight, and those who are slightly overweight.

3. Anorexia and other eating disorders are common among obese people.

Anorexia and other eating disorders are ignored by the media, medical researchers and everyone else involved in the prevention and treatment of obesity, and that fact shows how ridiculed the approach to the problems of obesity and anorexia, and other eating disorders have become.

Particularly anorexia and other eating disorders are prevalent among children. All of the time, or at least most of the time, overweight and obese children feel guilty about eating and are ashamed of their bodies.

For adults, it is comfortable to talk about the problems of anorexia in underweight and extremely underweight children, but it is not comfortable to talk about the problem of anorexia among overweight, obese and severely obese children.

Adults affected with obesity or by the fear of obesity can’t have sympathy for children’s problems of obesity or eating disorders in children. The problem is that almost all the world’s adult population is affected by obesity and/or fear of obesity. The problem is further exuberated by the fact that the world-leading medical and nutritional experts, in one way or another, promote anorexia as a solution for obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Another problem is that medical doctors aren’t affected by obesity. There are many other obstacles to the rational discussion about the cause and solution for obesity and the solution for eating disorders. The problem is that people are so afraid of obesity that they are unable to engage in a productive discussion about the cause and solution for obesity and eating disorders.
