I used to think this was frivolous surgery, but not anymore. A friend recently underwent this surgery and it has made a dramatic improvement in her life. She was not a compulsive eater, just someone who gained weight no matter what her diet, and had exhausted countless other means of losing pounds. The doctors gave her extensive counseling, covering all risks and required treatment before and after the surgery. She was able to make an informed choice about it, and is delighted that she had it done.
In this most recent death, the patient had received counseling and presumably was screened for being appropriate for the surgery. We should probably wait until they determine the cause before passing judgement.
