A friend of the family had the surgery and lost 90+ pounds. She is in her twenties and had struggled with her weight since early childhood. Her health was an issue. She had been overweight for two decades and obese for one decade. Now, she not only looks better at a smaller size, but she is also healthier and happier and more physically active.

She had the procedure done a year and a half ago after over a year of researching the procedure options and doctors. It was definitely not something that she decided on the spur of the moment. Actually, part of the time was spent arguing with the insurance company for coverage. When they approved, she was able to have it. After surgery, she had to limit her food intake to two tablespoons because that is all that her stomach could hold at first. Now, she can eat larger portions, but much less than before the surgery. It definitely changed her life for the better.
