Six months and two weeks from procedure day and I have lost and kept off 53 pounds. The first few months the weight fell off and my eating was focused on protein. The last couple of months the weight has plateaued at losing 1-2 pounds a month and have introduced other foods with my proteins. At this time I have not implemented any type of workout plan but do plan to start in the next few months. I am gaining energy and strength as time has progressed. Overall I am pleased with my medical team and my outcome at this time. I had a good experience and would recommend my medical team and caregivers to others.
