As of October 1st which is my one year anniversary, I have lost 135.7 pounds. I have gone from a size 32 to 18/20. I could loose 64 more pounds until goal of 168. The only side affect I have is a lot of gas. Doctor does not know if it is from taking iron, breathing machine, or surgery. Any ideas out there to cure it. All my vital signs are improved greatly. Medicare and Combined Insurance paid every penny. I am able to get out of wheelchair and walk once a day around house. Take care and would do it again for sure. It has saved my life.

Dispite my health issues of Post Polio Syndrome and sleep apnea I came through the surgery real well. Dr. said he thought I would be his most difficult patient but everything went really smooth. I thought surgery would prevent heartburn but still have a little so that is disapointing to me. The hospital stay was really good but thought the nurses desk was extremely noisy. Otherwise, wish doctor had more time to answer questions but know he is busy. So far so good. Have no side affects and didn't even believe they did anything until they showed me the x-rays. Thanks for the encouragement. Gayle
