I’m famous!

Check out this story I’m featured in on ABC News.com!

Unfortunately, they didn’t include much information about why people decide to have these surgeries like the actual risk statistics and the statistics showing how much these surgeries cut your risk.  Also, living without a stomach and living without boobs are not exactly comparable..

My last complaint- did they have to call it “Going under the Knife”??  It makes it sound like we’re volunteering to lay on a butcher block, not having skilled surgeons operate on us!

All of that aside, it’s pretty cool to be in the news!
