When I first looked into this surgery, I was at an all time high in my weight at 331 pounds. I felt bad, and had for more years than not, I was about to start medicine for blood pressure, diabetes , and high cholesterol. 13 months out and I've lost 140 pounds and see no meds in my future. Blood pressure is great, glucose in normal ranges and cholesterol has dropped almost 50 points to the normal range also. I am able to exercise and I enjoy it now. My knees quit hurting 24 hours a day with 20 pounds gone. I am able to enjoy my children and grandchildren more than I have in 20+ years. I would do it all again. Please follow doctor's orders and do not let yourself get empty in the beginning. ****Drink, drink, drink. You won't think about it. The impulse or urge to eat or drink will not be there(it wasn't for me anyway). *****
