Way, way OT: What do you think of stomach stapling?

So...I have a relative about to undergo this surgery, and I disagree with it wholeheartedly. She is someone who cannot control how she eats, not someone who has always been morbidly obese (she has been relatively thin in the past!) I'm curious, with the two deaths that have recently occurred with this surgery, what do you all think about it? Personally, I have a feeling it is a bit of a gold mine for hospitals and doctors who don't set the right parameters for it, such as they must be genetically predispositioned to being morbidly obese, and must show verifiable evidence that they have taken all other measures, such as diet and exercise.
Your thoughts?
Brian
