Should obese people be placed in nursing homes?


Should obese people be placed in nursing homes?

You can fight yyour obesity by getting an obesity surgery in India.Gastric Bypass Surgery /gastrectomy/stomach stapling /lapband (all types of weight loss surgery) is very safe nowadays.It is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges obesity surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.

I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as obesity surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your lobesity surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

My cousin got her obesity surgery after delivery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results.She has lost 65lbs in 5 months.She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company.hope this helps

Not if they can care for themselves.

I don't think so

Another stupid and idiotic question. Why do obese people need to be put into a nursing home and potentially keep people who need the nursing care out? There is only limited space. And why can't an obese person function, stay at home, etc. instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars in a nursing home?

Are you kidding? Obese people are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. If someone is obese they might need to go into a home, but not until they're old and need help with everyday things. In other words, just like everybody else.

Why not ask the same question about people who are anorexic? Their health is just as bad - if not worse - than someone who is obese.
