I had GB on 10 Jan 07, to day I've lost 45 pounds and I feel great and have no regrets. It is tough learning to eat the new way and break the old habits, but you can't argue with progress. I was not extremly heavy just heavy enough to qualify, but I knew what was coming with my age and the genes in my family so I wanted to nip this all in the bud very quickly. Adding to all my other problems I also have intersititial cystitis and I had just quilt smoking, of course all of this months prior to surgery.
