No, I didn't realize the failure statistics before I took that option. . It's all about how one eats.. be very slow, have a distraction like a conversation or reading something...chew very well, gluttony is a very bad deal...keep meals small... don't get prone after eating for at least 2 hours...carry some bloating remedy...I use Papaya Enzyme pills if I feel bloated...there is a foam that sometimes forms in the stomach....I can vomit that out easily... Eating is necessary but a challenge... enjoy the other parts of life.. avoid carbonated beverages..
