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.

I think so too, she seems like she has her mind made up though! I just can't believe that it is happening so soon! It just seems like we just started joking about it a few months ago, like HK1974 said, I thought you had to go through a lot of counseling and have DOCUMENTED failed attempts to lose weight. I don't know, it seems kinda shady to me, and why does she have to go to Charleston, it just seems like she found someone to do it who just wants the money. I am seriously trying to get her to REALLY think about it.
