“THE PRICE OF BEING THIN” is a painful journey into the abyss of complications resulting from gastric by-pass surgery. There are details revealed that are so often glossed over by medical professionals as unlikely pitfalls that every patient should be made aware of before putting their life in the hands of any surgeon. Obesity is no justification for a sense of negative self-worth, we are all worthy of the best medical science has to offer, compassion is not a negotiable attribute when selecting a physician. Gastric by-pass surgery touches every aspect of life, the cost is excessive, much more than I was ever led to believe it could be. What is “THE PRICE OF BEING THIN?” God, I just pray it is not my life.
