Hi: I'm not recent, actually had done in February of 2014. I like most, didn't tell anyone except for immediate family. Most folks don't seem to understand, and my family except for husband and kids, are not happy with it. I have had some complications. Almost immediately after I wasn't able to take in fluids or foods. It took until May to discover the real problem which was adhesions. And then in October, they found 3 hernias one being a Peterson hernia. Even, with all the complications I wouldn't change a thing. I would do it all over again. I'm not even a year out, and I'm down 137lbs. Good luck on your journey, and if you ever need to talk we are all here for you. ❤️
