I had it done on 4/11 and I'm so glad I did. I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Down approx. 40 lbs and over 12"!!!! I like that I'm not restricted to what I eat,feel very normal. I don't dump on sugars and life feels great!I was eating soft foods at day 2 in the hospital. I like that I didn't have to live on liquids and I also Love the fact that the % of weight that's going to stay off is in my favor.

I had DGB/Ds with Dr. Anthone on 4/18/01, and am down 52 lbs forever. I never had dumping syndrome, throwing up, and never had to be on a pureed diet. I am very happy with my decision and would highly recommend it to anyone. I have tons more information if you would like to e mail me personally. Good luck with your decision.
