Thinking of getting gastric sleeve surgery, my mum had it done and she had lost tunes of weight, do you think it’s, a good idea?

I have tried excersing, and I have gone smaller, but my tummy hasn’t gone away?

Ask an expert (not an sw expert because it’s not the same)
One can’t e en trust experts. Some if them just want to make money. Others don’t care and assume one’s done their own research. @Bagalamaga

@Spoiledbrat the surgian didn’t charge my mum, because my sister is a Dr
She is asking what she should do? She asked for advice. How do you know she hasn’t done the research? @Bagalamaga

@Spoiledbrat ok. Don’t trust the experts and don’t trust the sw experts either? Im running out of variations
How do you know she hasn’t (or doesn’t plan to) already done the research? She asked for advice or thoughts. Doctors don’t always have my back. I have to do the research too. I didn’t say don’t trust anyone. I just took the post as her asking for others’ thoughts on the matter. @Bagalamaga

@Spoiledbrat with health related questions,ask a doctor. Not the internet ,your dentist or your mechanic. That’s all im saying
But she has friends here. And why can’t she seek a advice. There are some nice and well informed people here. You just totally shushed her. @Bagalamaga

@Spoiledbrat by suggesting to ask an expert on the subject instead of a bunch of random people online? With all due respect, I think i will hold my ground on that one
How do you know they are random? And how do you she’s not already informed but would like to discuss it with people who’ve had it done or know someone who has? It could raise some interesting questions. How do you know she’s not being thorough. You think she’s going to blindly take someone’s advice? 🙄 @Bagalamaga
I just felt your reply short and dismissive. @Bagalamaga

@Spoiledbrat it’s the internet. People say anything to appear relevant. If you want thorough research,asking multiple doctors is the way to go
You’re on the internet too. She we not listen to you either? Now you just want to be right? You are totally not concerned about her. @Bagalamaga
Doctors have relevant information but likely haven’t had the surgery. They might not have even performed such a surgery. Don’t give them all the credit. @Bagalamaga

@Spoiledbrat I hope she considers my advice and go to a pro. I didn’t start arguing,you did. I think i gave a decent advice
Her mom already had it done? Don’t you think she’s probably informed? @Bagalamaga

@Spoiledbrat well,this is all the time and patience i had for this discussion. You were right all along,i was totally wrong. Have a good day!
Doctors don’t know everything and they don’t know individuals. All they can do is be informative. I did not say it wasn’t good advice. I said you were dismissive and maybe underestimated her. @Bagalamaga
