first post,
finally jumping in.
In so many place I keeping hearing about one of the risk of weight being infection.
I have someone dear to me who's going in for a neccessary non weight related surgery. but is being told over and over that because of her size she at great risk for infections that she is getting quite scared about the whole procedure. Is there a direct link? does anyone know or understand or have a guess at how weight makes a bigger risk of infection. Do us big people get more infections in surgical situations? Or is it because the medical 'business' is less equipped /prepared/ willing to make sure that we get reasonable quality care?
Inquiring minds want to know
