		<description>Actually I disagree with one thing you said -- this surgery is NOT a cure.
It is the only viable treatment for many but not a cure. I equate it to
chemotherapy. Chemotherapy treats cancer but it doesn't cure it. This
surgery treats morbid obesity but it does not cure it. Rather it gives us
the tools to work towards better health and well being.
