A person I know is trying to get approved for gastric bypass.and is lying to get approved, what can I do?


Question:
I know a person who is a bulemic, morbidly obese, and trying to get approved for gastric bypass. This person is not being completely honest about eating habits with the doctor. I know I cannot control other people's decisions.but the possible ramifications of this weigh on my heart, what to do?

Answers:
Quite frankly, it's not your problem. I know you want to help, but your friend needs to be responsible for his/her actions. Tell your friend what you think, and urge him/her to be honest with the doctor. If he/she isn't honest, then he/she will suffer the consequences and it won't be your fault.

Other Answers:
just hope they don't die, if they are determined to lie to get it done they will do it, unless your part of there medical staff, then you can inform the doctor, and I think in that case you might be legally obligated to.

OKAY GURL, U NEED TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THA THIS PERSON IS A BULEMIC. GASTIRC BYPASS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO JUST CANT LOSE WEIGTH PHYSICALLY i THINK. I THINK THAT MANY PEOPLE LIE TO GET IT BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO LAZY TO LOSE THE WEIGHT THEMSELVES. HARD WORK PAYS OFF BETTER BECAUSE YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE WHAT U'VE WORKED FOR. It's honestly not your business. That's that person's personal medical history.

It's just the consequences that this person will have to deal with.

----You could talk to this person and urge them to be honest, though. Really really bug her/him about it. His/her life depends on that.


tell them they dont need it, and you can loose weight if you educate yourself in nutrition and exercise like body building or some sport

sugery should be the last resort if the fixed deit, exercise, and antioxidant/pytchemmicals fail, your friend needs support and your friend needs to be around nutritionists, personal trainers who will support the weight loss, and your friend needs to educate themselfs


How do you know what this person is saying to the doctor?

How do you know that the doctor isn't fooled at all and actually sees the situation from a medical and psychiatric perspective that you can't possibly understand?

Don't you think the doctor has "seen it all before" and knows how to screen for fake claims? Yes, some people are clever enough to get what they want from the medical system, but it's a tiny, tiny number.

Feel free to call the doctor and share your concerns - or send an anonymous letter, if you would rather. The doctor can then take your information under consideration.

But I think you should mind your own business, unless you have a smoking gun.


i love turtles. do what a turtle would do. hide in your shell and let the world go round. it will get solved itself Gastric Bypass and Lap Band Surgery(all types of bariatric surgery) is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.

They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your lobesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star .

My cousin got her gastric bypass done there and she is more than very happy with the results.She is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.She paid just 30% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her. she has alsready lost 35lbs in 5 months .hope this helps
