Quite true Dawn. And you're correct. We are surgically altered people and though the benefits and success far outweight the negatives (in most cases anyway...) -- there are some issues that happen along the journey. I'm 6 months post-op and thus far it has been smooth sailing.
I've generally been a healthy person even when I was super
obese. I've found out recently that my Vitamin D level is again a bit low - so I've started supplimenting 2000 IU twice daily. I've had no other issues and only hope that throughout the next several years that no issues arise at all.
Thanks for the posting

Obesity

Obesity results from the excessive accumulation of fat that exceeds the body's skeletal and physical standards. Obesity has been defined as a weight more than 20% above what is considered normal according to standard age, height, and weight tables, or by a complex formula known as the body mass index. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an increase in 20 percent or more above your ideal body weight is the point at which excess weight becomes a health risk.
