Surgeries have real risks, I think that can be lost on people who are only looking at the positive outcome.

Weight loss surgeries are pernicious especially because the patient needs to adapt to a healthy maintenance diet after the surgery so they get enough nutrition (The nature of the surgery diminishes the amount of nutrition they can get from food)... Which is exactly what they needed in the first place to avoid surgery.
