Default Bariatric Surgery...Opinions?

I'm just curious what everyone's thoughts are on Bariatric surgery. I am talking the permanent kind, where they re-route your insides.

Since last year pretty much every one of my doctors has discussed it with me as an option. I am always kind of taken aback. I guess I'm not ready to surgically alter my body when I feel can change it myself with some hard work...I'm not willing to give up just yet and go that route. I understand it for someone who may be a little older, and has more health concerns like diabetes or high blood pressure...and is maybe over 400lbs...but for me? No way!

Anyone have experiences with it...know anyone who has? I am just curious on a fitness board...how you all feel about this option?
