Nobody, there is no need to resort to insults. I stated I can't comment on the surgery because I don't know enough about it. I don't know the risks, the procedure, how often the patient should be checked out, how long such checkups should take, how many there should be, what they entail, what goes into recommending the procedure or anything else regarding the procedure. So I didn't. I have no idea if the jury got this one right or not. I have no idea if the doctors did their job. So I didn't comment on it.

What I did comment on is how this could have been prevented from the get-go in the majority of cases. I used generalizations because they are generally true. There will always be exceptions to every rule but we can't necessarily address every exception. There are people taking certain medications that make it near-impossible to maintain the body composition they desire; people with thyroid issues; people with metabolism issues; people with physical ailments that prevent movement; people with digestive tract issues; the list goes on. But in main, generally speaking, the comments I made were spot on and accurate.

To call me uninformed is a huge leap on your part as you know nothing about my life regarding this issue. I'll cop to pompous because that's an opinion of my tone. I make no assumptions about the lives of others posting and ask they make no assumptions about mine. Address your comments to the substance of my comments or I ask you to not address me at all.
