The Surgeon’s Studio

r.

Zheng Ren was let in, and the professor followed behind.
Everything was new to him.

Lin Jiaojiao knew that he was a world-famous professor, so she patiently explained the origins of all kinds of buildings to the professor.

Her words were gentle, but her experience and knowledge could not be underestimated.
Zheng Ren thought that the building looked ordinary.
Lin Jiaojiao told them countless facts, with all kinds of official and unofficial history.
She was able to recall all of these facts with ease, stunning the professor.

Zheng Ren also sighed.
Lin Jiaojiao had resigned from the hospital.
As expected, she was able to build such a large family business.
She was well-versed in all aspects and knew how to cater to others but he was unable to do the same.

It was spring.
Lin Jiaojiao prepared river fish for them and invited the master from the Fu Xiu restaurant to cook it.
The meal looked like nothing much, but it was done with care.

There were no accompanying guests, just them and Lin Jiaojiao.
Su Yun and Chang Yue accompanied Department Chief Kong to drink some wine.

Seeing that Zheng Ren was almost done eating, Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said, “Boss Zheng, there’s something I would like to trouble you with.”

“Sister Lin, please tell me what it is.” Zheng Ren also learned to talk like the people from the Imperial Capital.

Just like the Japanese, bowing and apologizing was just a habit.
It did not mean that they were actually being respectful.

When people in the Imperial Capital scolded others, most of them also habitually said things like ‘you’.

Lin Jiaojiao sighed.
“This matter is especially laughable.
The daughter of a friend of mine put on a little weight, so she been taking care to lose weight.”

Zheng Ren was silent and listened quietly.

“We tried all kinds of methods but the results weren’t good.
She was especially gluttonous and could not lose weight no matter how hard she tried.” Lin Jiaojiao sighed again before she continued, “Later, she came to me.
Although I’m a beautician, I’m still someone who worked in the medical industry.
I don’t lie to my customers.”

Zheng Ren nodded.
He did not know about the beauty world.

“The child asked for my opinion.
I don’t have any good ideas here.
We’ve all been told that to lose weight, all you need to do is to control your eating habits and be active.
If you can’t stop eating, then what else can you do?”

That was indeed the case.
Zheng Ren nodded.

He could feel that she was getting closer to the point.

“Later on, the child heard from someone that the surgery department had a surgical method to treat obesity, so she asked me to contact a doctor to do the surgery for her.
I rejected her.
Doesn’t that sound like nonsense?” Lin Jiaojiao was a little angry but she controlled her emotions very well.

“That’s true.” Zheng Ren knew that obesity could be treated with surgery.
There were only a few surgical methods.
The simplest was gastric band surgery, which was to tie a band around the stomach so that one could not eat.

However, this type of surgery had many shortcomings and was gradually being phased out.

Then there was gastric bypass surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, and bile-pancreatic shunt duodenal switch surgery.

The last surgery was different but the principle was the same.
It was to make the stomach shrink so that you could not eat so much even if you wanted to.

Zheng Ren’s heart moved.
He looked at Lin Jiaojiao and waited for her to continue.

“I rejected the child so she looked for a few doctors but no one did it for her.
Tell me, a 18 or 19-year-old girl wants to cut two-thirds of her stomach.
Isn’t that just a foolish thing to do?”

“What happened after that?”

“After that, she went to an underground clinic in Xiangjiang for gastric bypass surgery.” When she said that, Lin Jiaojiao sighed again.

Zheng Ren was also speechless.

Gastric bypass surgery simply meant that the stomach was divided into two parts, one big and one small.
The small stomach was used to hold food, and most of the stomach and small intestine were left empty.

By doing this, not only would they eat less… They would not be able to eat more even if they wanted to.
Moreover, most of the small intestine was left empty, resulting in a problem with nutrient absorption.
