on the news, yet! I think it was NBC, they showed this lady who had lost over 100 pounds with the gastric bypass, and they were promoting it right and left.

I find it so bizarre that NO ONE speaks out about the long term dangers of this bariatric surgery, yet all the nutrition "experts" talk about is the "unknown" long term effects of the Atkins diet.

My mother knows someone who had this surgery, and they are on 7 or 8 different medications and supplements they have to take for the rest of their life...and yet they think Atkins is dangerous.

Whew! Just had to vent...
