I regret I had it. It is very dangerous. We never hear of those who died from
Wernicke's encephalopathy, and other issues, as they are not considered by-pass related, "directly".
I have Wernicke's encephalopathy, severe dry eye, ataxia, night sensitivity, and cannot keep weight on.
I regret I had the surgery. Deeply regret it.
I aged some 15 years. Hair is all but gone. And I am 1 year out.
