Surgery is a huge committment. You'll have to change the way you eat, forever. You'll have to take up exercising. If you have gastric bypass, you'll have to commit to taking a number of vitamin supplements for the rest of your life. You have to really, really want it.

And if you want it that bad, you can give up smoking for it. Besides, what's the point of going through major surgery to get healthy if you're going to harm your health with smoking?

Yes, it is a big thing. You can do it. Many have done it before you, and you can do it too.
