I take a slightly different stand than the previous response, seeings how I work in surgery, and we see a LOT of back/spine surgeries each week. There are even a few people that I work with who have had them, and they all seem satisfied. First of all, I would check out the surgeon, see what type of surgery he or she specializes in and how long they have been doing them. Next, be sure you know what type, ie lumbar, cervical vertebrae, etc are going to be worked on, and then I can give you more info :)

I think you have your thesis: The subject has two sides. Maybe try something like: Gastric bypass surgery is a controversial technique with both benefits and risks.

If your mind is not set on doing medicine than please dont do it(here instead of heart  I have used mind because to study you need mind & not the heart).The motive of this profession is to save people's life and if you r not completely in it than you cannot do justice to your practice(i.e.not work a doctor never works).

I have not had the surgery but cared for many post-op. The thing about post-op pain is it's never the same for any two people. If you've had surgery before it may help show how well you handle pain.\nThe main point I wanted to make to you was that across the board, the results of the operation also vary widely from person to person. Be prepared to not see a lot of improvement right away-but I hope you do!

I don't think they've been doing them long enough to know. Technically there might not be too many issues considering the types of surgery around now. I think the biggest issue is the psychological impact on the patient - I am sure many people would not be able to cope as our appearence is so intrinsic as to who we are. Also I think it unlikely there will be many donors and it will be very difficult for the bereaved to come to terms with the possibility of a loved-ones face being used by someone else.

Don't be discouraged by all of these biased answers.  For some reason people can be so hateful, and ugly when it comes to this topic.  If they don't have them or have first hand experience with them, I would take their advice with a grain of salt.\nI have implants and I love them.  My husband said that he was happy with what I had too, but I wasn't.  I got them for me.  My clothes fit better now, because I actually have something to fill my shirts.  And people are not going to say anything about it, that girl is so uninformed about implants.  No one will even know, unless you want them to.\nI researched it for over a year, before I finally made my decision.  I have had them for about a year now, and I absolutely love them, and have no regrets.\n\nThis website helped me tremendously when making my decision:\nhttp://allaboutplasticsurgery.com/

That's just silly.  Being forced to announce any kind of surgery would be an invasion of privacy.

I know that I'd be too scared to let a robotic surgeon operate on me and yet lots of people do...

I have not had this surgery but as a nutritionist/dietician college student I have studied a lot about it and would not recommend it to many people; especially without going through all of the other options first.  That is diet and exercise.  This is the way that weight should be lost because it is natural.  Gastric bypass is something not natural so that is why it is so serious, and they still do not know the long term effects of it.  I have known two people to die of gastric bypass surgery because of the results of the surgery afterwards.  It is very serious and has many side effects.  Also, if the person who is having the surgery uses food as their comfort then they are likely to go into deep depression after surgery.  Sorry to give a lot of cons.   Only your doctor can tell you exactly what is right for you.  See a Registered Dietician AND an M.D. Be careful of the doctor that you choose; some are just out for money and will tell you to go for surgery so they can just have more money.

OMG Stop thinking about it.  Your going to get your mind off the upcoming procedure and imaging how you are going to tell everyone about your fear as you enter the office.  Pain is in the brain.  Your fear will make the pain feel worse that it really is.  Please get your mind off the pain.

You seek attention, I seek 2 points . Everyone wins\nOh and if it does hurt it may be going back inside you, therefore making you a transgender without the need of an operation.\n\nCheers.

Yeah why not if it will make you feel better about yourself and it's something that you really want then go for it! Just make sure that you have thought it through properly because it's a pretty major operation.

Unfortunately people do not always think for themselves. Thinking takes effort ..... so does maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
