Yes, mine has been smooth sailing. I've had no complications so far and I'm almost 6 months out. I really haven't lost much in the way of hair either! My surgery itself went smoothly, the recovery went well and the weight is coming off. My only regret is I didn't do this sooner in life!

My surgery itself and the losing was uneventful. I had no trouble with eating or drinking, no vomiting, didn't get anything stuck, etc.. The complications I had were a couple of years out.

Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Hit goal at 7 months and exceeded surgeon's expectations at one year by 25 lbs.

The process has been a piece of cake. My biggest concern is keeping on track so I don't gain any weight back.

No problems for me. In fact, my surgeon let me go home less than 24 hours after surgery, which was my idea. I'm more comfortable at home.

I had no issues with the surgery. Post op eating was typical. Life and health are greatly improved.

I had no problems at all, with any of the surgeries I've ever had for that matter. RNY was a breeze. Textbook all the way.

Mine went really great. I had a small issue where I was not getting enough potassium, but that was my fault for not noticing it was not in my vitamins. Other than that, everything is perfect.
