I am in
NO way thinking of doing this!
I was shocked that they would even offer it to me at my age, being fully capable of taking care of this myself. Their answer was that it was something more...something that was not my fault...something genetic. All I was thinking was...really? Unconsciously stuffing food in my mouth wasn't my fault? Whose was it then???!!!
I don't think I could ever permanently alter the natural state of my body unless it was truly a life or death situation...that's the part of this that really irks me! THREE of my doctors, my general, my endo and my gastro guy...all THREE of them...seemed to think that I would not be able to be healthier by just changing my lifestyle. They said I was the perfect candidate...since I have no major issues right now too. As far as I'm concerned...a 1 in 100 chance of dying is WAYYYYYY to high!! Those are supposedly the odds...
I was just truly curious how a community like this would feel about this drastic measure...since my Docs were making me feel like I was an idiot for NOT considering it...!! And I was thinking more like they were idiots for even suggesting it!!!!
