I will have to try that, I love zucchini!

Sorry to hear about your sister.
However, with ANY surgery comes risk. While your sister had the worst happen to her, many people, like myself have had this surgery with little to no complications. When you have struggled years or your whole life and you see how being severely obese takes away from your life you will do all that you can to help yourself. Most of us wouldn't have this surgery if we could do it on our own. We have all tried everything possible and while it may have worked short term, long term is the key. This surgery is life saving for so many people. Now, if someone needed heart surgery to save their life and because of the heart surgery they had a complication that was severe.. would you suggest they don't have the heart surgery as a chance to save their life? No, you would hope that they would do all that they could take the chance. it is the same principal Surgery is surgery, regardless of what kind there are risks. And to us the risks are worth it, leaks happen, I think everyone is made aware of it before surgery and knows it can happen. While it is scary and I feel for anyone who has to go through it, it is a risk you have to take. Again, I'm sorry to hear about your sister and stories like these let people know off all possibilities, please do not come on here basically insulting so many of us that have had LIFE SAVING surgery.

Wow! Congrats on your loss so far! I have lost 35 in my first month (just hit my 4 weeks Friday) and still have about 180 to go. It is a long journey ahead but it is so worth it. I love reading about people who have a similar amount as me that they want to loose, because it makes me feel like I am not out there alone! Keep up the great work, 100 pounds in 4 months is amazing! I hope to follow in your footsteps
