I am happy for you. I work in an emergency room and I have several patients that had the surgery. I have taken care of several patients for years that were overweight and then one of them would come to the er and they were not overweight anymore and then another one would come in and so on. I could not believe how good they looked and how happy they looked. They just glowed and had a bounce in their step that was not there before. Every one of them said that they are glad that they had the surgery and that they have not had any problems with it. Good luck...
