First, let me say I'm sorry for your loss.
Everyone has this surgery for different personal reasons, but I think the vast majority of patients don't believe this is a cake-walk. Surgery, no matter what type of surgery, is dangerous and can be deadly. There are risks, and I agree with you, they should not be covered up and hidden away, but I honestly think most doctors don't hide the facts. And, the facts are out there if you do your research.
I can't say that I know where you're coming from, because I don't. But I did lose my grandmother to one of the first weight loss surgery procedures done back in the 70's. And I'm still going forward with this, you ask? You betcha. I feel that I have made an educated and informed decision.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
