I had the switch performed on 21 June 2016 and I am now at 240 Lbs. Weighed 317 on the day of my surgery. So far the only problems I have had are drinking whole milk (2% is fine) and gas when I eat my veggies. Bean o is a definite before I eat my veggies. I have been pretty happy so far with it. Be careful when they tell you about dumping syndrome they are not kidding. If I drink whole milk or have something that is to rich (pecan rolls) I have definitely paid the price for about 4-6 hours after. But as long as I do not go to crazy I have been able to eat pretty much anything in moderation. I highly recommend a lot of walking after. It makes the difference for me between mild suffering from gas and no problems.
