But the thing that's bad....she's not really all that big if you ask me! She is about 5'5", and she wears a size 16, but she is not morbidly obese to the point where she can't function. She says she just feels she would feel better about herself if she does it. She is not doing it directly for medical reasons, and honestly I can't say that she has "tried everything" to lose weight. I have been looking on the internet, I just don't feel it's worth the risk when she is not in danger!

Now, if you have TRULY tried the above, and they simply didn't work; and I mean TRULY TRULY TRULY tried, then maybe the surgery is for you. I'm not goin' under the knife to lose weight unless I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to.
On Investigative Reports the other day, they had people who got the little belt put around their stomach... makes it shaped like an hour glass. Now, this is more feasible to me, because it can be reversed. GBS can't.
I wonder if people who go thru these surgeries really tried to lose weight and just didn't have any will power, or if they were genetically predisposed to their weight. I'm a little skeptical of surgery JUST for weight-loss... I don't know, I just can't see it for myself. I'm too scurry for all that.
