Just because you have WLS doesn’t mean your life ends and you stop eating or being able to go out and enjoy yourself.. you don’t need food and alcohol to have fun, which she would realise if she had surgery.I dont think she'd have surgery either as socialising is her life (when we can actually do it) and surgery would take all that away.
As sad as it sounds I think without food in her life she wouldn't have much to look forward too.
