It's too bad, since the surgery is supposed to be life-saving for some. Risks with everything, I suppose.

Just a little chubby, nothing out of the ordinary. I can't believe that doctors agree to do surgery for people who aren't extremely over-weight. Is this becoming the new "Botox?" Pretty scary.
