I had considered getting a gastric bypass a several years ago. I seems that men have an increased risk of problems with the surgery. Here's the article http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=GILJMDSC5H3WUCRBAELCFFA?type=healthNews&storyID=1851938

Interesting article Jim, more risk than i would take, but I would never have considered it, but it show,s what risk people like myself take and that if a emergency minor operation was required, that the increased risk of the anesthetic and the extra dose required etc is a big gamble. Reason by itself to change our lifestyle and was a factor in my own journey.

I do not think they even included the other "risks" into it.. seems a bit low than what I've heard before.
