I know a few people who have had and/or are going to have the Gastric Bypass or the Lap Band procedure. Some have been successful with minor expected problems and a couple have had more trouble than they wanted to have to experience! Ive been kind of concerned of one friend of mine but I think things are starting to get better. Does anyone have an opinion or advice for those considering? Has anyone on here had any weight loss surgeries or know someone who has?

A friend of ours had it done recently. No major complications just the normal upset stomach and problems keeping food down for a while. She looks wonderful now. She probably lost 80-90lbs after the surgery and has a few to go still. The oddest thing I noticed with her is the small amount of food she eats. I realize that this is what the surgery is supposed to do. Limit your stomach size to control your eating but she can eat a cup of green beans and be full.
