Hello, I am going to be honest. I had major complications. That said, I am still happy I made the decision to have this surgery. It is changing my life. I am 6 months out and have lost 108 pounds total, 78 since surgery. I feel great. I can do so much now. I am loving my new life. Good luck to you. It is not an easy decision. Just remember, this is only a tool. It is still hard work, but so worth it!
