At the medical center that I work at, we have a world renowed weight program called "Health Management", where in extreme cases they do perform this surgery. However, before even being considered for this type of surgery, you have to go through counseling and other forms of weight management for a least a year. Within the Health Management program, this is the last resort option for those people who can not use weight through the other phases (diet, excercise, pre-packaged food, shakes) of the program.
I agree with Ideal08, if you are unable to lose the weight through tradiontion means, then the surgery could be the best option.
Remember, the risk associated with this surgery DO NOT COMPARE to the risk associated with being morbidly obese.
