I've been thinking about this a lot and have debated voicing my concerns in a public forum. I don't want to add to the stigma and shame that some post-WLS folks experience, yet I think it's important to highlight this issue.

I always express to them my strong reservations about the possible long-term consequences of this decision, but I also believe that people are the boss of their own lives and it's not my job to police their choices. They are adults and they get to make their own life decisions, whether or not it's a choice I would make for my own life. I try to be supportive of them afterwards without being judgmental, although it's not easy sometimes because I am not a fan of WLS. Let's be honest. Reference.

The term 'Buddhology' has been constructed by some scholars of Buddhism by analogy with the Christian term 'Christology'. Christology is the study of the nature and attributes of Christ, and likewise 'Buddhology' refers to the study of the nature and attributes of the Buddha. Theories about the nature of the Buddha developed increasing philosophical sophistication in the Mahayana, culminating in the Trikaya or 'Three Bodies' doctrine of the Yogacara School. Before we look at this, though, we will have to put the whole question of the nature of the Buddha into context. The Buddha in Early Buddhism and Theravada As you may already know, the Buddha can be seen either historically or symbolically.
