Thanks everyone for your comments. I've had a couple of hours to think about it a bit more and I still feel pretty uncomfortable with the whole show. I agree that I too am lucky that this WOE works for me, but completely respect anyone who chooses to have this done for whatever reason. I just felt that as Oprah said "its like getting your teeth cleaned - everyone is getting it done". I know from this forum that it can be a very dangerous solution.....
