lastbat, you really shouldn't comment on subjects where you have no knowledge, like this surgery. I fought weight my entire life. When I was 49 my doctor told me that I have the surgery or be dead in a few years. Big choice. I actually have heard uninformed and unsympathetic people say stupid stuff like the surgery is "cheating" and you should only do it the "right" way. You and people who think they are entitled to comment on the "right" way of losing weight are idiots and need to shut their traps. I lost 170 pounds and weigh less now than I did my senior year in high school. My health is great and my life has significantly improved due to this surgery. Are there risks? There are risks getting in the shower in the morning. Life is a risk. Take a look at diet statistics sometime. Almost nobody who diets to lose obese amounts of weight actually keeps it off. The surgery works, it helps people live longer and more satisfying lives. Uninformed and pompus morons such as you make me ill. Maybe I can sue you for emotional injuries.
