Default Dr. Robert Cywes--the real journey of weight management

This surgeon is like a modern version of DR . Atkins, outspoken and realistic, and clearly discusses how about 4 different surgeries can play a part in health management. BUT the focus is actually about carbohydrate management and how it meets all the addictive tick-off boxes for any other item like alcohol and smoking. Absence is the optimal treament. Great explanations. Must manage carbohydrate consumption, and possibly with the assistance of bariatric options. (baloons are nonsurgicall.)

WHY~BARIATRIC SURGERY?

SURGERY IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM OF OBESITY OR DIABETES.

Yes I said that and I AM AN OBESITY SURGEON.

So why am I a strong advocate for surgery? Nobody quits smoking the first time they try. Typically it takes a smoker 3-5 attempts (or more) before they finally and permanently quit. Each time they go back to smoking they have to start from the beginning again. The same is true for obesity/Diabetes Mellitus. Every fat or diabetic person has to address CAUSE to ultimately be successful. However, we all relapse many times and when we do, we gain all or much of the weight and co-morbid disease back. Surgery is a very powerful tool to help people to lose weight more rapidly, getting into remission more effectively, but when we do relapse (and everyone does several times) the consequence is not as severe as going back to the original weight or disease state.

I find it laudable that he wants them to succeed without permanent body changes.

He too was 90 pounds heavier..... he gets it. Baruatric surgery is a tool and works with changing habits and eating a new menu.

Thanks for posting. It's refreshing to hear from a surgeon who considers his role as a last-ditch option that comes with many caveats and risks. Everything we share seems to point to the theme of the foundational need to make lifestyle changes to experience health improvements. It's a simple concept, but it's challenging with the many and varied competing ways one must choose among to make those improvements. It takes time for each individual to make the personal investment to learn what works. Many don't want to make that investment, so we have the burgeoning business culture of "health experts" that will gladly take your money to tell you how to eat and live. This is another situation where being a skeptic and having a hunger for knowledge is an advantage.
