Gastric bypass is a very dangerous surgery and usually reserved for the morbidly obese. In other words, being as overweight as they are, their risk of death from obesity outweighs their risk of death from the operation. Having said that, I hear on the radio all the time, about unscrupulous doctors who for money, will do just about any procedure so I’m sure you can find one who will..

NO doctor will perform this procedure on someone that only weighs 10 stone!
I think you may require psychiatric help.
