Faster Post-Surgical Recovery |
|
 No one wants to have an operation and definitely no one wants a complication. Some of use will have elective surgery this year: gastric bypass, knee replacement, etc. And some of us will be whisked to surgery unexpectedly: appendicitis, trauma surgery (from falls or car accident) etc.
By reaching your goal weight this you are less likely to suffer from complications. Unfortunately obese patients are more likely to have longer hospital stays, greater risk of renal failure, wound infection and length of time on a mechanical ventilator/breathing machine.
One of my biggest fears is getting sick and needing a hospital stay. I have kids, I have a mortgage, a big insurance deductible and no prescription medication coverage plan.
That is one of the reasons I won't ski this year: I can't afford to break an ankle and be out of work!! Too risky. I certainly don't want to have any complications from surgery and have a normal one week hospital stay turn into three weeks.
Here at JSN, we are always talking about the many benefits of losing weight. Now you have one more to add to the list.
