I went into the surgery at 274#. Within 1 year, I was down to 112. I got way too thin. Now, 6 years later, I weigh a 138# and am in a size 8. I look and feel the best I have ever felt. It is not a "cure all", I have to watch what I eat and exercise. If you ever overeat and get the dumping, you try your hardest NOT to ever do that again. I paid for it myself, as my ins. did not cover wt. loss surgery.

I had high BP & was just waiting for diabetes to hit.
Wow, you've worked so hard and done really well. Are you finding it easier now to maintain your weight? Do you still have 'junk food' cravings?
