PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY DECISIONS!

I know 4 people who have had it done. 2 of them have had GREAT results. But those aren't the 2 I am going to talk about.

My stepmom had it done a few years ago and everything was great for a while, she was down to a size 8 and very happy. She had times where she couldn't eat much or she would get sick, but so far smooth sailing. She recently started having MAJOR stomache pain and it turns out some of her intestines had kinked (like a water hose) and she had to have 2 more MAJOR surgeries to fix it. She is still very sick. She gets really ill everyday because her stomache is so messed up from this procedure.

My aunt had the surgery over the summer, and she died from complications.
She is dead because of the surgery. It may be pretty popular right now, but it is a MAJOR surgery and you really need to think about that.

I'm going to PM you with a link to my other aunt's website. It may make things more hopeful for you.

Best of Luck!!!! Really think this decision through!!!!!
