For pain, maybe, but for pleasure? You're going to free yourself of who knows how many pounds and you want an artificial high? You're going to have enough troubles dealing with head-hunger, might want to stay far away from it, and have yourself a "real" high when you're free from obesity!

It's also necessary to have the Vitamin D levels checked for hyperparathyroidism, which I had and have had serious repercussions from. I didn't know I had an issue (symptoms were very painful bones and bad lethargy), until AFTER I had a rib removed (it had broke by my sneezing-yes, sneezing) after a year of it not healing. One week after it's removal I broke another rib (by inhaling on my asthma inhaler-yes, it, too, is true). No one (except me) ever wondered why this was happening, until I went to an specialist after we moved to a different state 2 months later. He immediately guessed the cause (a tumor on one of my parathyroid glands). It was removed, but the damage to my bones remain, and it is now a blood test I have regularly.
