Why not the easy way out?

Some people look at me and think, Why not get gastric bypass? Well, I am tempted occasionally, but it isn't a forever fix. Most people 5 years out are only down about 20%. Granted I would be around 200, but that still isn't healthy. There are 2 more reasons. 1- They are cutting your bowels!!! As a nurse, that freaks me out. It is a delicate system of tubes in there, and if you start to leak you can die quickly. 2- I want to prove to myself that I can do this! Dammit! I have risen above so many things in my life I know that I am strong enough to do it if I really put my mind to it.
