I'm really glad you made it through and are recovering. I'm also glad that you posted your experience. Your story only emphasizes what we repeatedly remind people on the forum and, that is, this surgery is not something that can be taken lightly. It is MAJOR surgery and can be life-threatening--just like any other MAJOR surgery. Complications can happen and patients can die. This is why it's sooooooo important to thoroughly research the surgery and make certain it's right for you. Personally, I feel it should be the last resort for weight loss and regaining health.

Thank God you're safe and on the road to success. Best of wishes for your continued recovery and good health.
