My LS had the surgery done last year, as well as the cafeteria manager at my school. I haven't seen my LS, but when I spoke with her during the summer, she had already lost 100 lbs. in a few months.
Tomorrow, I'll ask my co-worker how much she has lost to date. I know she was off for at least 6 weeks. Before the surgery, she had to go on a liquid diet, after the surgery, it was hard for her to eat the small portions required. As soon as she'd put too much down, it came right back up. I think she has it all under control. She did say that she could have a baby a year or so after the procedure had been done. Oh, she showed us a picture right after the procedure from when she was in high school. She said she wanted to get back to that weight. I think the surgery has done it.
I forgot...as far as costs. Their insurance paid for BOTH (both are school system employees). I guess it's like the breast reduction thing, if it is considered a medical hazard, the insurance will pay for it.
