I have lost a 145 lbs. over 2 years. the largest initial weight came off very quickly.. Diabetes gone in 2 weeks. cholesterol, blood pressure normal, with the lower blood pressure number usually little too low..i have more energy.. there are two observations I need to make; you really need to have follow up with a doctor and nutritionist. Lastly, this may seem like a odd complaint, but I have had a very difficult time gaining weight. I am 25 lbs. under weight. I have difficulty eating any volume of food. I would recommend this surgery, but research before you go.. on-line has virtual reality video that is amazing to witness the actual surgery being done inside the abdomen.

good luck
