Stop surgery: Swelling from an operation that would be last resort. How much you want to lose weight and be healthy is directly related to the amount of work you are willing to do. If you can't maintain the discipline of doing a diet for fuel lifestyle change, then don't expect to look better. Surgery is nothing more than trauma under anesthesia. Only you can determine which path to take.
