H.P.
My cousin just had that procedure done about 6 months ago and has lost a lot of weight it is hard to even recognize her. She looks great though and feels great. I think she recovered fairly quikly as well. I am sure she could give you more insight on the whole thing. If you would like I can see if I can get her e-mail for you. Just let me know.
Also I have a great product called figure 8 weight loss. It is very good and you might want to give it a try. Also if you do get the surgery you will need protein shakes afterwards. So just let me know I would be glad to help you out in any way possible.
