Although I had a minor complication I would still do the surgery again. I have always had weight issues my entire life and this was the only solution that has allowed me to maintain my weight for a long period of time. Otherwise I was gaining weight every year exponentially. I lost about 76 pounds in total but never actually used my tool (smaller stomach) and ate as normal. I would have had a more successful rate had I followed the strict diet regimen.

Great review?

Hi there, welcome and thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Congratualtions on your weight loss! So, are you still able to eat all of the foods that you could before? Do you not suffer from Dumping Syndrome, or any of the side effects?

Would love to see a before/after photo, if you have any you feel comfrotable sharing!
