DEB M.
I had my surgery in May of 2004. I started at 264,( size 22-24) with several co-morbitites. Within 8 months I was below my Doctor's goal (140 lbs, size 4, 5'10"). I feel great and all of my health concerns I had before the surgery are gone. I also had a tummy tuck in Sept of 2006.
There are some foods that I can't eat anymore. Mainly pasta and rice. Some meats I don't do good with either. Things have settled down a lot since the surgery, I rarely get sick anymore. If I do, it's usually my fault!
