It's one of the best things I've ever done! I was 225 and could kneel to bath my baby. A friend had just had the surgery and encouraged me to do it. The recuperation was hard especially with caring for a baby but my husband was so supportive. I've plateaued several times but am now hovering around 158-160. I went from a size 18-20 to sz 8! I even squeezed into a sz 6 bathing suit the other day! I could squeal with happiness! I'm still struggling with getting enough protein but I take prenatal vitamins sand eat protein bars. I eat whatever I want, just very small portions. I can't drink beer or sodas anymore and it's time to get toned up with regular exercise. I have suffered with weight issues most of my life and went into depression after the birth of my son. The weight kept climbing and I kept falling. I now have self confidence and I even smile more. I've started wearing makeup and choosing stylish clothes. This procedure has truly changed my life!
