I am extremely interested in having this procedure, I met with my primary care doctor who told me that I would be an ideal candidate for this procedure. I was hoping someone could shed some light on recovery of this procedure and some ways to get through the liquid diet portion afterwards, which I think will be my biggest issue. I have made an appointment to see a bariatric surgeon, Dr. Von Rueden at GBMC in Baltimore, Maryland and would like to see if anyone has had the procedure done there and had experience with this surgeon.
