I had the SIPS surgery in November and I’m down 80lbs. My wife had gastric bypass and I feel she had a less messy recovery. It could just be me but I don’t remember her having as many issues. I won’t go into detail but I can’t even risk passing gas yet. Again, it’s only been 3 months. In the end I should be able to eat more than my wife at one time with the same outcome.
