Actually, most hysterectomies are performed vaginally these days. Being a "been there, done that, have the t-shirt", my gyn oncologist does all cancer related hysterectomies as open surgeries. Most do if they don't have access to a Da Vinci robot. Some get a small horizontal pubic line incision, while the real fatties get the vertical monstrosities like ALR and Gunt did.
I had a hysterectomy very recently and it was done laparoscopically with the Da Vinci bot. Mine wasn't for cancer reasons, though.
That would be a disaster for her. She'd have no medical support network afterwards, and she'd still overeat on all the wrong foods by grazing all day. Success longterm after bariatric surgery requires complete lifestyle change, and Amber couldn't do that. While advances in surgical tools and techniques mean staplelines don't burst open these days (they did in bygone years when surgeons used just one line of staples rather than the six offset rows they do now) Amber would have her stomach stretch out again in record time.
Sure is. Losing weight and gaining weight are easy and just require a calorie deficit or surplus to requirement. Maintaining weight requires actually knowing your bodies exact caloric needs and providing that every day for the rest of your life. It's during maintenance phase that we also quickly learn that while a calorie is a scientific measure, our bodies don't handle all calories we injest the same. Our bodies aren't efficient users of all the food energy we give them.
Bariatric surgery would be such a disaster if Amber did get it. She would not be able to eat solid food at all for at least the first week or two (depends on de diet), not even refried beans. Amber can't commit to any of her "diets" for three days. She'd open her stomach with her "binge monster relapse" between not only that but also her tendency to eat through appetite suppressants.
