Is it safe to "cure" obesity with Bariatric Surgery's malabsorption?

The inventor of RNY gastric bypass, Edward E. Mason was not so sure about the long term risks of this type of surgery. It's a 8 billion dollar industry with little long term follow up. Well, since most people are desperate they prey on the mostly obese women....

The RNY surgery has saved the lives of 2 of my friends plus my husband. All are doing well today thanks to this surgery. Both friends have had theirs about 5 years and my husband just recently had his done. Having all the extra weight was way worse than having the surgery. It was worth every penny it cost. My friends medical costs are near nothing now since they no longer have bad backs, bad knees, diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc. not to mention not being able to work or hold down a job. Now my friend works, is off disability, pays taxes, plus rarely sees a doctor except for routine medical check ups. The state and federal aid programs should get down on their hands and knees to thank the doctor for doing it because it will save both the state and federal govt. tons of money in the long run.
