Thanx oomis but what would u consider serious post op problems. And maybe ur friends who gained all back didn’t do adjustments every body I know who did the “gasto” I know lost tons and gained bk but the “band” whom ever I know lost kept it off there r those who never lost but I think they don’t keep to it and don’t adjust

The vomiting was one problem. Pain at the incision plus infection, was another. Plus, AFTER the weight is lost, you really need additional surgery to remove the excess skin that results from such rapid weight loss. That is more time under anesthesia, painful recovery,and scarring. One must be highly motivasted to do this. Someone who does not change his eating habits taht have been gained over a lifetime, will not succeed with this surgery. And if you already are able to change your eating habits – you might not NEED surgery.
