Ewww this is nasty. I would recommend it only if that's the ONLY way you can lose weight. One of my best friends had this done, she was about 350 lbs at 5'6. She decided to have it done but the doc put her on a diet and walking program. This girl lost 30 lbs doing that. What pi$$es me off is that she should have continued with it because it was working. But she had the surgery done. Her skin is saggy as hell. She just had a breast reduction and lift last week because she said her breasts looked like two empty balloons just hanging down to her belly button. Her arms and legs have huge flaps of skin hanging. Her hair fell out and her teeth were rotting because of not having any vitamins or nutrients because she could not keep her two teaspoons of food down. This is happening with most everyone I know who's had it done. Seems like their health just fails after a while. Sure being thin must be thrilling enough to do it but seems like they don't look at the whole picture, maybe thinking those side effects won't happen to them. My friend IS doing good now, but she suffered for such a long time. I'm glad she was mad at herself for getting it done, after seeing how much she accomplished just eating right and working out. She went thru about two years of hell just to be thin. Dang. My other childhood friend's mom is bedridden right now because of her being so sick from having this operation. It's just too risky.
