Big Mistake: FDA Panel Votes To Expand Weight Loss Surgery

According to Forbes, "Last week, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel endorsed the expanded use of Lap-Band weight-loss surgery in less-than-the-severely obese. If approved by the full F.D.A. -- as these recommendations usually are -- the number of potential patients eligible for the procedure could double." 

Every single WLS is a much bigger mistake than anyone can imagine. The mechanism of weight loss induced by Weight Loss surgeries is misunderstood. People do not lose some percentage of excess body weight (in the best case, they lose 60 – 80% of excessive body weight) because they are eating less. By the way, there is no reliable evidence that people eat less after WLS than before. Even if some of them, or a majority of them, after WLS eat less, they do not lose weight because of a restriction in food intake.

The mechanism underlying weight loss induced by weight loss surgeries is identical to the mechanism of involuntary weight loss induced by certain types of injuries like (weight loss after injury).

The mechanism underlying weight loss induced by WLS is explained in the article: “Underlying Mechanism of Weight Loss After Weight Loss Surgery”. The book "Mechanical Stimulation Low-Grade Inflammation Weight Gain - Muscles Upward Lifting Activity Weight Loss "was published.

Human society must confront the terrible blunder in medical science and practice.

Any WLS is a medical practice based on a misunderstanding.

It needs to be confronted with the fact that the basic science of weight loss/weight gain is wrong. It is impossible to explain in fewer words, but the two main points are:

• 1. Human body does not convert unused calories into fat mass. Weight gain is not about increased food intake and/or decreased physical activity.
• 2. Human body does not burn fat. 
• Weight gain and weight loss are NOT about burning more calories than you eat.

The book “ Mechanical Stimulation Low-Grade Inflammation Weight Gain - Muscles Upward Lifting Activity Weight Loss ” is the Real Science of Weight gain and Weight Loss and offers the real solution for obesity and eating disorders.
