  1. Hi. So I am deciding if I want to do this. I am 5'1 and 240lbs. I have wanted to lose weight and tried forever. I was wondering can you ever eat "normal" after you get this done or are you eating 3 small meals forever. What makes me mad is I am not a fast food junkie or a twinkie eater as most stereo type you as if you are even a lil overweight. I eat healthy but continue to gain. Polycystic Ovarian syndrome doesn't help. So when you get this done from recommending to your DR to surgery date how long is that. Does it take long to get on the list? Thanks
