Question:
Are there any statistics for post-op surgery after 10 years?

1/3 get pregnant. 1/3 get divorced. The other 1/3 die from sky diving, bungee jumping, para-sailing, hang gliding, iron-man pentathalons, free climbing, spelunking, freestyle snow/skate boarding, whitewater rafting, deepwater diving... with a smile on their face.

I had the surgery in 1987 when I was 19 years old. I lost 110 pounds and have maintained my weight even after 5 children! I actually have lost weight with every pregnancy. People kid me about getting pregnant just to lose weight! I feel great and I can't imagine what my life would have been like if I didn't have the surgery. I still have down times where I wish I could enjoy a WHOLE meal at Outback or eat really good at a party, but you have to take the good with the bad and LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO worry so much about FOOD! I am super happy with the results!
