An fellow employee where I work had the surgery as well. He was severely obese and had a very hard time losing the weight. At his age (mid 30's) he was told that if he didn't lose the weight soon he was at risk for early heart trouble. He had the surgery about six months ago and has lost 110 pounds. He does look a lot healthier and happier also. I don't think that the surgery is a totally bad idea in such extreme cases, but 1savvydiva, I don't think that your friend falls into that category. She may want to consider other options first if she is not doing it for her health.
