Gastric Bypass and Autism
Nov. 14th, 2015 08:47 pmOkay, this is a tough subject.
I'm considering a gastric bypass.
I've been hugely against it, because first of all, people do actually die from this surgery (not many, but it does happen), and secondly, you're gonna have to be checked for vitamin deficiencies and other things pretty much for the rest of your life. And on top of that, it might lose its effect in time. A good example is my uncle who had one eight years or so ago, and he's just about as fat now as he was before the surgery. So yeah. Results not guaranteed.
But, at this point, it's starting to look like the lesser of two evils.
