COMPLICATIONS: GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY
.
Note: If you are at my website because you or someone you know has experienced seizures after having gastric bypass surgery please contact me. I have talked with a physician and have some direction to give you.
When I was made aware of the fact that people who have had gastric bypass surgery were experiencing complications such as crippling seizures after their surgery, I was in total disbelief that a surgery they thought would free them from a life of obesity left these patients with a life handicapped by seizures and other health issues. Although I am against such a radical procedure, it angers me that these individuals were not specifically informed on what EXACTLY this procedure is or the impact the "by-passed" part of the body will have on their ability to digest food. The "by-passed" area is the duodenum. It is the part of the small intestine where most chemical digestion takes place and is responsible for much of the breakdown of food. Surgically altering the ability to digest food properly, coupled with not eating the right way, will lead to a malnourished body. A malnourished body is truly a very sick body.
Through researching the relationship between seizures and gastric bypass surgery, I found Tricia and she shared with me her story. With her permission, I am able to share her story with you. Please visit TRICIA'S STORY. Because of the way the surgery altered her digestive tract Tricia may never gain her full health back. AND this is the sad reality that many people live with after they allow their duodenum to be bypassed. And now you may read JENNIFER'S STORY and Catherine's Story and the affect that eating in a BALANCED HEALTHY WAY has on their health.
Please understand that the body needs nutrients from food in order to be healthy and to look healthy. By allowing a doctor to surgically alter your digestive tract to bypass the duodenum you are then preventing the body from absorbing and digesting nutrients in the way it was intended to. I understand on a personal level and a professional level what it feels like to be so out of control with food that you just can't stop gaining weight. I work with clients who have also felt this way and they are amazed that for the first time in their life my nutritional guidance is freeing them from the cravings that lead to overeating.
If you are considering this surgery, please give NutritionByCatherine a try because it works and you will not have to endure crippling or fatal complications like those from this surgery. Instead you will get to see how healthy and lean your body can be.
If you have had this surgery and are experiencing complications, please attempt to start giving your body the nutrients it needs from FOOD. When my clients, who have had seizures & tremors, begin "FLOODING" their body with nutrients from FOOD they start to experience improvements with their health issues. Please contact me or purchase my bookBalanced Healthy Eating For Every Body to learn how to nourish your body.
To Your Health, Catherine
