[Peaches-n-Cream]

My friend who had gastric bypass surgery, she had been battling her weight since early childhood. She had tried everything, and this was a last resort as Firecracker said. She had it done almost three years ago. There was a concern that her weight problems could result in heart disease and diabetes in a few years. Her father had had a heart attack and triple bypass so there was a family history. She has since had surgery and lost the weight. It definitely worked, but there are also lifestyle changes that she needed to incorporate into her life as well. She could only eat two tablespoons of food at a time for the first few weeks.

There was a case recently in New York of a patient dying during the surgery so it isn't risk free. About 1% of patients die.
