The surgery would be pointless as well as dangerous and could cause the surgeon to lose his license considering the danger involved on something that is not needed. I know it feels needed to you, but in reality if something like this were to happen, it could likely kill you. I'd rather be fat and walking than a twig in a coffin. So sorry if this triggers or sounds harsh, I do not mean it that way in the slightest. I have struggled with EDs my entire life going from being under weight to over weight... When it comes down to it, this lifestyle can and will kill you. It tried to kill me and I didn't even have the surgery. That's when I realized that our appearance is not worth my life.

I'm now very happily in the middle at the doctor approved weight. It's a long road but this kind of behavior is unsafe to act out on and seek out. I was on pro anna sites all day every day, until I had a near death experience because of this. Some things our image is just not more important than, and that includes our health. Please seek medical help for your eating disorder, not what you think will make you happy because believe me, even if you got it you wouldn't be happy. I'm 5'9 and even at my smallest weight I hated my appearance. I thought I was a whale. But now where I am at, I'm happy again. It's about changing your self image, not your actual image.
