Please really think about that before you have it. my mom had that done and it fucked her world up. The stapels that connected her stomach to her intestines came loose and her bowls leaked into her body causing her to go into septic shock. She was in a induced coma for 2 and a half months. In the hospital for 3 and a half months all togethe. It was suck a hard thing to go to the hospital and sit by her bedside hooked up to tons of machines she couldnt even breath for herself. She lost her ability to walk, feed herself, write everything that we take for granted. She had to learn to do everything all over again. When she came home I had to quit school to take care of her. Where they had to go back in a do a emergancy surgery she no longer has a belly button and they didt stich her back up they let it heal from the inside out. So I had to dress her wound 2 times a day it was about 10 inces long and 4 to 5 inches deep. To this day she still doesnt have her strength back, she lost all her hair and even though it has grown back its still really thin. Its been about 4 yrs and she will never be the same again. Please make this surgery your last resort. Its very dangerous and something that you cant take back. Your only 15 and really need to think about what the rest of your likfe will be like after this surgery. Yes you may loose alot of weight and fell better about yourself but its not worth it from my point of view.
