More than 8 years out and still a satisfied customer!

I had my DS more than 8 years ago now.  I made the right decision because I have kept the weight off with minimal work on my part, have learned to enjoy activity, have a better quality of life, and enjoy much better health than I could imagine.  If you are thinking about getting the DS, it is worth the fight (if you have to fight for it).  I know too many friends who chose other surgeries and gained the weight back plus a few extra.  I believe this surgery produces the best long-term results for weight loss.  If you are considering it, research the procedures and the doctors well. 

I don't get on the site too often anymore.  I am too busy living my healthier, happier life.  It was a great support when I first researched and then had my surgery.  I am religious about taking my vitamins/supplements and getting my blood work done.  Make sure you do that, too!

Blessings,

Caro
