It has been over 10 years since my surgery. I have had my up and downs, over 100 lbs lighter.
Pro:
Improved quality of life. If loss weight other things improve. In my case, reduced high blood pressure, more active, better self-esteem.
Cons:
All surgery has its risk. Not a quick fix, lot of work and discipline before and after. Food intolerance, varies by person. Malnutrition – I had problems with low iron.
Most of cons are under your control; if follow direction and are disciplined, can reduce cons.

2 ReactionsI have a black heel, about 3" across. It started when I had a hole the size of a half dollar. The hole is being treated and is closed to the size of a Nickel! XRay of the hole do not disclose any infection.
Will I need to have HyperBaric to aid in healing?
