About 20 years ago at a weekend church retreat, I met a priest who had had gastric bypass surgery and lost a lot of weight.

I was on the kitchen committee for the retreat, and as I result, I was informed of the man's dietary restrictions.

The thing that sticks with me all this time later is that while he HAD lost over 100 pounds, the foods he was able to eat seemed so limited. And I was concerned for their nutritional value.

I was left with the impression that while this surgery works, it is life altering, and probably not something I would find satisfying. It's certainly still controversial in my mind.
