There is always someone that isn't going to agree. My brother is a nurse in intensive care so he is very against the surgery, but that is just because he sees the negative and scary side of weightless surgeries every day. (He works at a bariatric hospital). And also he has never had a weight problem so he just says well just eat less and exercise he doesn't understand that it is more then that. So you just had to make the decision for yourself and not worry about what others think
