I had mine done at Lexington Medical Center. I used the SC Obesity Center. My wife and I both had it done 10 days apart. She has loss about 35 lbs. We started a high protein diet about 4 weeks before the surgery so that helped lots with our weight loss. We walk from 6 to 8 miles a day(5 or 6 days a week) half in the morning and half in the evening. www.scobesity.com is the web address if you need it.
