Obesity Surgery Often Leads to Complications, Study Says

My immune system could not handle it, even if I considered it. However, I just don't see needing it as long as keep control of my eating habits.
I understand her choice and know it must have been a difficult one.
This is why those who make it as a cosmetic choice confuse me so much.

Something I did not bring-up. One friend of ours, and two that I know of, were told to gain weight so they could meet insurance criteria for the surgery.
Our friend, who was told to do this, is diabetic… she is a single mother, told to gain thirty or forty lbs so she could get the surgery on insurance. She is one of those who told me, to my face, that if she just ate the post surgery diet she would lose all the weight she wanted easily.
Think of it, a Dr. asking a single mother to risk her life for cosmetic reasons.
His license should be pulled & charges should be filed IMO.
