Outlaw gastric bypass unless it's crucial to your life

The Issue

I'm petitioning to out law the dangerous gastric bypass surgery,  it has gotten so out of control it's done so often and at times having patients gain the extra weight just so it can be done so the doctors can benefit and get paid! I think it's cruel and very misleading, a year ago my sister decided to get the surgery after years of resisting and being afraid of it but finally decided to go through with it, she had so many complications from the day she had it, being in the emergency room 17 times with severe stomach pain, vomiting blood, elevated pancreas and so malnourished it was so so sad to witness and every time doctors just sending her away telling her that it would get better. My sister died on March 10, 2016 she was 48 years old full of life and didn't deserve to die the way she did it was so horrific and should be illegal for this  to ever happen to another human being all the while these doctors continue to do these surgeries and walk and live there lives as if nothing happens they are getting away with murder literally!!! I'm pleaded to you all to please help outlaw this dangerous horrible procedure.
