Gastric Bypass: Stories

Write a Review

A New Life Has Begun - Lebanon

Wish i had it many years back. In one year i have lost 54Kg and i get rid of many sicknesses i had such as Sleep apnea acid uric colesterol.

I am eating now better than before but with out feeling hungry, and of course small quantities.

I do sometimes feel little dizzy but not much. I am also taking Vit D and Vit B12 but not much.

Great review?
