I did understand your concern and what you said about potential struggles for her thanks for the input.

It really is such a personal decision, and I'm glad you didn't take what I wrote as patronizing. Being a good friend will be essential if she does indeed pursue this track.
That said, there is a good book that would be a good introduction for her called
Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies. If you click on the link, it will take you to the Amazon page where you can get an inexpensive used copy. Also, this month is "Dummies" month at Amazon, and they are offering the series with a $5 rebate, meaning you can get a new copy even cheaper than a used one!
Also, I'd like to direct you to a post that our friend Gwen put together for new folks to the forum. You can access it
HERE. It has a lot of useful information that may be helpful for your friend.
Good Luck,
