I was really concerned when I first found this procedure, but I did a lot of research on it for over a year before finally deciding, and when I did finally decide to, I was scared. And while there was some discomfort after the surgery, naturally, it was completely painless and went without a hitch. It's now 10 months later and guess what! I Finally look and feel how I've always wanted! I used to weigh 250 at 18 years old and I knew I was going down an unhealthy road, but no matter how much I dieted and exercised, I couldn't lose the weight. I have lost 93 pounds and now weigh 157. It has been an UNBELIEVABLE transformation. And it's not just that I look in the mirror now and feel good about myself, but I have energy, and I'm healthy and happier. It has truly changed my life. I know that when I read testimonials before my surgery, I was still really skeptical, but believe me when I say, I was an 18 year old girl, who wanted to change her lifestyle sooner rather than later, and I was terrified, but it has been such a positive experience and really was amazing!! I wish anyone reading this that decides to get the surgery as well has an equally positive experience!
