Gastric Bypass Surgery Saves You Money

I saw this article on my homepage today, it is not directly about gastric bypass surgery but it is about how much money we would save if we were not overweight. The article says that if Americans all lost the 20 pounds that we are overweight (on average) that cars and airplanes would save $5 billion in fuel due to their lighter loads! It also says that overweight people use 18 additional gallons of gas a year, that is like filling up your tank two times more just because you are overweight! I am sure glad I had Gastric bypass surgery and am no longer so overweight!!

Post Gastric Bypass Surgery CT Scan

I saw this piece they did on the news about how 1/3 of gastric bypass surgery patients are too obese to fit into the CT machines to check for problems post surgery. It made me kinda mad because they kept making it sound like the gastric bypass surgery caused this problem! That is something that is talked about before the surgery and is a part of it, as far as the weight, they would not be having the surgery if they did not need to desperately lose weight!
