And what do they blame for the worse surgical outcome? The patients' weight (initial and possibly regained). And we have another "proof" how "unhealthy" higher weight is. Aaaaargh. This just makes me want to scream.
Exactly - this is something that I talk about to healthcare providers including surgeons. If long-term undernourishment and muscle loss prior to the procedure improved surgical outcomes they would recommend it for everyone.
💯 That was one of my thoughts as well. Someone who's lost 40-60% (!!!) of their body weight would also be vulnerable to surgical complications. But of course that would be from being fat in the first place.
Is there a compound German word for the sensation of "appalled but not surprised"? Because that is exactly my reaction. Healthcare systems will do anything but research and implement strategies for improving outcomes for fat people in the bodies they currently have.

Good grief. These are dark times. My heart goes out to the people facing those cruel and unethical denials of care.
