looly 361 Posted July 29, 2019 I haven't regretted it once - not even on the two occasions I experienced dumping syndrome. The Constipation after the surgery wasn't particularly enjoyable, but it was nothing that copious amounts of Water and prunes couldn't sort out. So that's only two negatives as opposed to an enormously long list of positives - and I had to pay for my surgery. Worth every penny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
