What Morton tells anyone interested in gastric surgery is that it is "no magic bullet…We can't operate our way out of the obesity problem. It's part and parcel of a lifestyle change. These surgeries are simply tools." At Stanford, Morton said, "We don't want to shoehorn anybody into a specific operation. You have to take into consideration the risks and benefits."Want to get rid of a limp?
Bilateral amputation of the legs is an "effective tool."
Hate the appearance of your nose?
Nose-ectomy (rhinectomy) is an "effective tool."
Want bariatric surgery?
Pay for it yourself or eat fewer Calories than you burn.
