I was always a little heavy. 202# the day I signed up. When I told people I was thinking about it I got all negative reactions so I never told anyone. I love my tool. I honestly thought I wouldn't want food but I do. But it makes eating some what of a negative thing because if you eat too much I either want to throw up or it hurts. (Not pretty when you're out for dinner)
What bothers me is the day after my surgery another patient noticed bruises on my face. The following day they were worse and along my jawline. Being a nurse myself I recognized them to be inline with giving mouth to mouth. So I questioned the hospital and clinic. Nope everything went smoothly. When I got home I requested my records and nothing. How did I get bruises on my face and jawline??? I will never know.
