atelux171 got a reaction from Inner Surfer Girl in When will bariatric care catch up with the science?
I'm postop and I work in healthcare. I can't tell you how many times I have been called a 'cheater' or accused of taking the easy way out after having weight-loss surgery. The stigma is unbelievable. Would my colleagues prefer me debilitated by obesity until I was unable to walk & had a myriad of other health problems? The psych aspect goes largely unaddressed. I liked the point about a breast cancer patient being asked to produce their history & their current attempts to get healthy prior to treatment. Shame is the most harmful human emotion. There needs to be more open & science-based communication.
