      @@MelB868 I don’t think that’s a size thing. I once went to a hospital because of a panic attack and they ended up keeping me there for eight hours doing rigorous tests on me for blood clots. Obviously I didn’t have any blood clots, and it took them right up until the end of my stay there to actually address the thing that I initially went there for.
      The reason they wanted to test for cardiovascular issues in the first place was because I had an elevated heart rate (I wonder why).
      If you have a minor long term health problem (in my case, chronic mental illness) your doctor is going to be concerned over how that’s affecting your overall health. And even though it will always feel like a complete waste of time to you that doesn’t make it bad practice.

    As someone with anorexia, I really hate the misconceptions about bodychecking. Checking yourself out in the mirror or admiring/observing your body every now and then is NOT bodychecking.
    Bodychecking is posing in weird positions so that your ribs and hip bones stick out, it’s obsessively closing your fingers around your wrists, your arms, your thighs, it’s pinching the fat on your stomach, it’s taking pictures of yourself every day so that you can excessively compare them to see if you’ve gained/lost weight. Bodychecking is an all consuming part of eating disorders and becomes addictive. It’s a way of feeding into your eating disorder, so it really irks me when people think just checking your body out in a mirror is the equivalent to actively encouraging your mental illness.

    "The BMI is Racist and Transphobic." OK...we'd also like you to not die under anesthesia, madam, because if your family is anything like as entitled as you are, they will sue the hospital and doctor. The BMI chart I pulled up just showed absolutely no differentiation by gender, skin color, or any other measurement other than weight and height. From the looks, sixty pounds is an entirely reasonable amount to lose.
    You don't owe anybody weight loss, as they say. However, no doctor owes you their skills as a surgeon if you won't follow their orders pre-surgically for a safe experience. Deal with it.

      People forget that BMI doesn’t exist in a vaccume. It’s you BMI+what your doctor sees+what the doctor can meaure using tools. You can just look at someone and generally tell if someone has high muscle or high fat on their body. That makes a difference for the BMI. You can observe if they are struggling to move or get out of breath easily, which will inform how to interpret the BMI. You can see if a person is flushed or if their lips are blue, which can inform how you interpret the BMI. You can feel if their skin is clamy, or if their heart rate is fast, and that will also inform how you read the BMI. You use instruemnts to read someone’s blood preassure and again this informs how you view the BMI. If the BMI is high and th eperson is high fat, high blood preassure, high puls, is clamy and flushed, has trouble moving and gets out of breath easily then it might be that lowering one of those factors might help the rest. The easiest, most natural, least invasive, and least prone to complications is lowering the BMI. Sure it’s not nessacerily the end all be all of that is going on, but you try this first and then invetigate further if the issues aren’t going away. You can’t just throw meds at every problem, and even if you could it’s much harder to get dosage right for people who have very high fat percentage. This is super important in surgery situations especially. The risk of dying on the opperating table is so much higher.

    The breast augmentation one made me want to scream. Girl, they literally can't stitch you back together if there's too much fat. The sutures don't hold fat together since it is so squishy. They want you to lose weight before major surgeries because THEY CANT STITCH YOU BACK UP!! Yes, the anesthesia is also risky but that's not even as big of a risk nowadays. The issue is not that you're "unhealthy," the risk is that your physical fat will make the surgery even harder. ESPECIALLY since she said she's on hormones because now she has more fat distributed to her chest. That's also why a lot of surgeons recommend fad diets/fast weight loss diets because they don't really care if you gain the weight back or not. How you lose weight is up to you and what you do after the surgery is up to you. Nowhere is there anything about fatphobia or racism.

Checkout some shotput athletes etc. you’ll be surprised. Some PTs are also former heavy weight boxers Etc. They know a lot about fitness and can train you well but have packed extra pounds over the years.

What is more likely is that they wanted her to lose weight because surgery can be very dangerous for fat people (particularly going under general anasthesic) as well as the risk of complications afterwards being much higher.

    Fat people need to realize that a lot of the “medical discrimination” they are describing also happens to underweight people. We are simply outside of the norm and our bodies are by default unhealthy.
    I have gone to the Doctor’s because I felt sick, weak and dizzy. They also instantly told me to gain weight and that my symptoms are because of my low weight and low food intake.
    I went to the ER later on and it turned out to be a concussion.
    I honestly can’t blame the first doctor because who wouldn’t assume it was my body suffering the consequences of being underweight?
    Imagine you’re a mechanic and a cars “check engine” light is burning. The first thing you’d do is assume the engine is broken, not the light, right?
    The doctor can tell that there is something wrong with our bodies just by looking at us so that is the obvious choice.
    I also experienced actual medical discrimination like a doctor refusing to operate on me in a high stakes situation because I’m transgender and that went against his beliefs. That’s actual discrimination, not just someone stating a medical fact. I’m lucky other surgeons were available that day, no idea what would have happened if I hadn’t gotten that surgery tbh.

    The surgeon was most likely concerned about anesthesia and operating on you.
    1) full anesthesia carries certain risks with it, no matter how healthy a person is. Those risks get a lot higher when you’re over- or underweight.
    I have also been turned away from surgeries with the very simple explanation that my surgeon doesn’t want to take the risk of having a person die on his table. I know it’s hard to believe for the bodypo crowd but doctors are humans, too and having someone die under your hands can be severely traumatizing for them. I gained weight for the surgery, recovered from it and then lost it again. If you aren’t willing to loose the weight you can’t be that desperate to get the surgery.
    2) I work in a morgue and recently actually got the pleasure of helping in the dissection of a obese body.
    The fat layer above your organs is super thick. It isn’t a big issue for us doing autopsies since we can just open a person up without having to worry about keeping them alive, however if you are trying not to kill the patient and eventually close them up again with as small of a scar as possible it gets hard.
    Certain sizes can make specific surgeries literally impossible to perform.

      That’s actually a super interesting comparison because while you don’t become a different person, the way people treat you does change whether you’re talking about fat/skinny or short hair/long hair. For instance, I’ve noticed men will treat women with long, beautiful hair much differently than women with super short hair, which probably has to do with people being nicer to people they find most attractive and long hair is in general seen as more attractive. But it’s kinda the same for fat versus skinny. If the man finds skinny more attractive, he’ll be less kind or even cold to a fat women sometimes. I know when I was fat, I felt invisible to men when I was out with my skinny friends. When I’m thinner, I get way more attention. Same thing with hair. I always get more looks when I wear extensions. That’s actually a very interesting comparison because it doesn’t change the person on the inside, but it changes our appearance and our appearance affects how we’re treated (which is sad really, but this is how the world works).

Being under anesthesia while being obese is a high risk regardless. Also the healing takes a bit in some cases too. But yeah i lost 60 lbs in 4 months in time of my surgery and at first i doubted myself but now i look back and I’m proud. Losing 60 lbs for my surgery was a gate way into fitness.

    ( 6:08 ) About the trans woman complaining about the surgeon: I´m pretty sure if you're over a certain amount of weight it can be really dangerous to perform such an invasive surgery. Not only may the post-op be more complicated, but there is also high risk of inflamation or even blood clots while in the operating room. I don't know how the bmi would work for a trans woman but that's something to see with a nutricionist, and why would the bmi be racist🤡? like whaaat? It's the calculum of your heigh and body mass, there's nothing to do with skin colour.
    Also, she said that intermitent fasting is starving yourself and that's absolutely not true. My father used to weight aroung 230 pounds before starting his "weightloss journey" with intermitent fasting, it's been 4 months and he' down 44lbs of fat and gained 30lbs of muscle (he is also going to the gym 4 times a week). It's been doing wonders for his humor and mental health but mostly for his health, he had a risk of developing diabetes and has high blood presure and they are starting to be controled naturally (he used to take medication for high blood presure, I'm so proud of him).

If I could get my one hand to reach around my leg above the tattoo I was okay in that moment. I constantly, for hours, would sit and contort myself to make sure my vertebrae were still able to be seen from all angles, convinced I had to turn this way and that, despite being 86 pounds. I'd check how much my hip bones stuck out while lying down by resting a cup up against them and if it stayed, I was okay for that 10 seconds, until I was sure I'd gotten it wrong and they had stopped sticking out so far. Don't get me started with the collar bone/wrist checking. These PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TRUE BODY CHECKING IS.

    As a trans guy, if I want top surgery (I can't afford it yet anyway but that's not the point), I need to build my pec muscles a bit. I'm currently very low muscle mass and pretty thin overall. Fyi building muscle is FAR harder than losing fat, especially for someone like me who has chronic pain and fatigue, but I'm not going to accuse surgeons of being ableist for this requirement. Wanna know why? If I get top surgery now (again let's ignore the price concerns haha), with so little volume to my pectoral muscles, my chest is at risk of ending up looking sunken and unnatural in the end. They need a good base to work off of what they're changing. They want you to have a good result and unhealthy levels of certain tissues can put you at much higher risks of bad outcomes and complications.
    Also, it's inherently more dangerous to go under anaesthesia when you're overweight. For example they may be unable to get the breathing tube in safely due to the airways being compressed. Your heart is more likely to fail due to needing to circulate more blood. I'm pretty sure messed up metabolism can effect it too.

    With the first lady, she’s not entirely wrong but I only have those issues due to having C-PTSD and a dissociative disorder from past experiences. I’m not sure how bad it can get if they’re only triggered by prolonged stress.
    In my experience, I can’t play horror games after I’ve eaten due to my amygdala being too sensitive which causes my fight or flight to be activated over small things. I can’t properly digest food like that and I get sick. However, I don’t think me suffering with that is the reason for why I’m overweight. I’m overweight because I’ve always had a bad relationship with food. The symptoms can be different for everyone but I can’t speak on the weight-gain aspect of traumatic pro-longed stress.

    I'm narcoleptic, when I needed to have my wisdom teeth removed I wanted it to be done under full anesthesia, I wanted - no - NEEDED them to knock me out cold because of a crippling fear of anyone touching my mouth in a medical setting, which is a trauma response from something that happened in my childhood.
    Because of my narcolepsy we had to make sure I get a very specific anesthetic and I had to check in with two different doctors to make sure I don't have complications during the procedure and that I am aware of the risks. I was told multiple times how risky it is to do this under full anesthesia and asked if I was really sure I didn't want it to he done locally instead. This wasn't the doctors being ableist or bigoted. Quite the opposite, the fact that doctors don't want to risk a patients health just so they can sugar coat something to make the patient feel better about themselves is exactly what they need to and should do. I don't understand why fat people need to get special treatment when they actually have a way of taking out their risk factor-

  • @nooneinparticular469

    I wanted to drop by to say that visceral fat is, inasof itself, a factor in surgical recovery. Normally, skin is pretty flexible. If you stretch the sides of a wound together, there is enough stretch to suture. If the skin is pulled taught around fat deposits, sutures are weaker and tear easily because they’re fighting the skin harder. If you lose weight, your skin relaxes and there is more give for sutures, so they are more likely to remain stable.
    Thus, most fat people are asked to lose some weight before undergoing surgery, especially if the surgery is cosmetic and scar reduction is a factor, such as in a gender confirming cosmetic procedure.

    I really dispise the blatantly manipulative use of the words "body checking" and "triggering others" get used on tiktok.
    God forbid somebody be appreciating their body, or celebrating weight loss/progress in their weight loss journey, or celebrating their recovery in an ed, or wearing an outfit that exposes skin, or just existing with their body present in the video.
    Cause that's body checking apparently, and you existing and being happy is at the expense of some totally real person with an Ed and TOTALLY not the person suspiciously going off on you for being happy about yourself. It just gets me angry to see this new version of body shaming, and seeing how often people support it
    Edit: imagine going into the doctors office, seeing you're doctor who is over weight and them telling you (especially if you're "midsized" or "skinny" in the broad sense) that you need to lose weight to be healthy...you'd be pissed

    The author said that the more a person believes the stigma the more likely they are to be inflamed which would lead to weight I.e. fat retention. If it were as simple as that then what she is essentially saying is that people who find themselves in insular communities and echochambers covering the topic of fat prejudice are going to be feeding into their confirmation bias and the best way to lose weight is to not listen to those communities because it is intentionally keeping people fat just through reinforcing beliefs. If all it takes is thought to change a person's ability to lose or gain weight then why isn't she advocationg for people to step away from fat activism?

    Love the channel, love what you do. Watch to learn what new arguments my clients might come to me with without having to sift through all the HAES fiction myself. As a trans-male trainer whose been on hormones for a little over a year now I can kind of understand the argument at 7:03 , but she's using it in bad faith. Yes, hormones will change your body composition in terms of fat distribution and storage. And yes, trans-fems will see more fat appear over time to give them rounder curves. But, the BMI doesn't just magically stop applying because your genes say one thing and your hormones say another. I'm not medically licensed so always go to a physician if you can access one, but my advice for a trans individual whose wondering if their HRT might be the reason they are obese would be to calculate their BMI in each gender category , add the two results together, and divide by two. If the result you got is overweight for your preferred gender, it's not your HRT.

      It’s true. The BMI would be different because she will still have a higher percentage of muscle even after hormone blockers. But, that will also make it easier for her to lose weight. She’s just not used to not being able to eat like a man with a high metabolism. You have to start eating like a woman (lower metabolism). Welcome to the club 🤓

    One thing I was told by someone recovering with an ED is that if it's posted publicly, it's usually not bodychecking. Maybe it is, but usually it's not. They described photos/videos of bodychecking as very repetitive and boring and also sorta crazy looking (like, who takes that many pictures of how the back of their shoulder looks?). It's usually the sort of documentation that people hide, rather than openly share with strangers. That obsessive behavior is directed toward checking themselves, not showing themselves to you. Half the time, they're convinced the part they're checking is bad or ugly, no matter what you think of it, so it's not the first part they usually want to flash to everyone.
