That surgery is very dangerous.
You probably have an allergy preventing the creation of the enzyme needed to make the thing contract. You can modify your diet.
Antibiotics will also kill off the bacteria that that specific enzyme needs. Probiotics might fix yours, it did mine.
Alternatively, the surgery will mean you never drink alcohol again.
Or eat anything with fat.
You will leak bile all day into your intestines.

You need pears, not a knife.
