*headdesk*

My mom—a nurse—had a couple of friends (also nurses) over for tea this afternoon. One of them was continually extolling the virtues of Gastric Bypass surgery.

Can we say "trigger"? *grumbles* If I hadn't already eaten my lunch by the time Mom's friends came by, I'm sure I'd be fighting the impulse to starve myself for the rest of the day. As it is, I'm just incensed that someone who should know better because she's a health care professional has been spewing this tripe about how wonderful the surgery is for the victims patients who get it.
