The last time I looked (admittedly probably a decade ago or more) the morbidity rates for people who had this surgery were something like 50%.  The REALLY maddening part is how many fats can drop 40 or 50 pounds if they need to in order to qualify for surgery, and then conveniently forget not only how to lose weight bu that they even know how to.  I think we need to sarcastically start heaping praise on fats for their dedication...it takes a lot of mental gymnastics to justify themselves, and plain on stamina to cram that amount of food into yourself EVERY FUCKING DAY
