[QUOTE="donna723, post: 660928, member: 1883"] I knew a man at work who had it but his doctor put him off for several years before agreeing to do the surgery. The doctor wanted him to try several different diets and counseling before doing the surgery. Another man I worked with was HUGE (close to 600 lbs) and lost several hundred pounds after the surgery. But with the drastic weight loss came massive amounts of loose, excess skin that was removed surgically and healing from that, he said, was horrible. And I just recently met a lady who had (so far) lost 90 pounds since her surgery. But she had to be extremely careful of what she ate, how much she ate, and when she ate, or she would become violently ill. I also knew two people who had surgery but then gradually regained the weight. They both had the "stomach stapling" surgery that just makes it impossible to eat more than a small amount at a time. But apparently if you're not very careful, the remaining part of the stomach can stretch back out to the size it was and the weight piles back on. It's not an easy fix for anyone and it takes a great deal of maturity, sacrifice, and motivation to do it successfully. [/QUOTE]
