Answer 2

I was close to getting it done.. but found that with a little work I was able to loose weight with the weight watchers plan..
I have known a few people that have had it done.. 2 guys lost a lot of weight but a year or so later are now starting to put that weight back on.. and it doesn't look good... My sister also had it done and she has lost a lot of weight but still is a little over weight.. it seems to have also affected her mentally, she doesn't seem as stable as before and now has to fight depression.. were not sure why, might be due to a lack of nutrition she used to get? I would suggest it only as an extreme last step.. the surgery is not a fix all, it still takes a major change from you for it to really be successful long term..

Answer 3

ya my friend did it and she lost all her weight over night it seemed... but she lost it so fast and she was so fat, she now has to go in and have plastic surgery because she has all this sagging skin like fast bastered in austin powers.
