At this moment I can say it was worth it. This is a drastic change you make in your life, but once you begin to see the positive changes, everything goes excellent. I had pain for the 2 first days after de procedure, but at the 6th day after it, I began working. At the beginning you get tired more often, but eventually it will get much better. Today with 2 months since I got my operation, I have lost 38 pounds. I used to have asthma attacks, they havent appeared since i got operated. My cholesterol and sugar levels are great ... everything has changed for good.
