Speaking Engagement on Bariatric Sleeve Surgery and the first hand knowledge

[Kyle Lukas 29]

Hey guys and girls, I posted in here because this is going to be a Post Operation possibility.

I do speaking engagements for work about investments and governmental changes to US savings bonds, real exciting stuff, lol.

I was pondering on creating a Public Speaking engagement on Bariatric Sleeve surgery and all of my first hand knowledge and what occurred, how I did it and what results, issues, positive effects it had on me and my life. I will not be charging for this and it is something I will do in my free time at local Libraries and maybe progress from there.

I was wondering if this was available, would you guys/girls have used it as a possibility to become more educated on the subject??

I'm sure a lot of people would like to hear about your experiences.

The thing is individual experiences vary a lot. Dr orders vary a lot. How people respond to surgery varies a lot.

I had already spent a lot of time educating myself on surgery and even post-op life. In the end my experience has been unlike anything I have read about or watched on TV.

That would be included in the speaking engagement and examples varying results and complications for people. This is not just about me but education on possibilities and pitfalls of the surgery

That is kind of my point though. People just talk about complication, weight loss, and healthy life style changes. No one ever really talks about emotional or identity issues that don't involve breaking up your marriage, or transfer addictions. It is all the same old thing you can just read about.

I don't think there is any reason to discourage someone from doing something like this. Of course you can't pinpoint down what the experience will be like for each person, but you can convey what the experience was like for some and that can help inform people. It doesn't have to be so precise.

I think bariatric surgery is still a mythical thing for a lot of people. The "It's the easy way out" mythos needs to be killed. So yeah, I think it's a good idea and would help people. I don't know if I would have attended one myself but I know many who would.
