If mentally/emotionally ready 4 gastric b/pass....why then even go under the knife?

I am seriously considering GBS but I can't figure out the answer to this question: If one is ready on a mental/emotional level prior to the surgery, why do the surgery at all? Why not take one's 'readiness' and go back to WW-tummy intact?
