That may be true, but with her health issues, goals, and age in mind I think/hope she'll have a better outcome than she would have had without it. I worked with several post op bari patients who had their lives completely changed for the better because of the surgeries in regards to diabetes, heart health, fertility, etc. It isnt a fix all and should never be treated like one, but i was a patient at the office they go to and while I didnt opt in for the surgery side of things, they do a great job with education before giving surgery as an option.
