"I had a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy on July 4, 2006. Great surgeon, great hospital and great experience. I lost 85 pounds and 9 years later I'm still maintaining within 5 pounds of the original 85. My weight still creeps back up from time to time but I take control of it sooner and get back to where it needs to be. No complications of any kind from day 1 until today. It was the best decision I ever made. "
