I had surgery sep 07, I have lost 78 lbs so far. My worst symptom is what I am feeling now. I am having severe pain right now. I am thinking I am going through a blockage right now. I went through my doctors 2 months ago thinking I had a slippage, but thank God it wasn't. I really believe I am too tight. It is so uncomfortable, other than that, I still do not regret having the surgery.
