I really had the perfect experience I am at a year out and only had one issue. I had a B1 deficiency. Numbness in my legs. Insurance paid for my care because they can't refuse to. I had no need for follow ups I took my stiches out myself. I have lost 140 lbs and till loosing if you have any questions feel free to look me up on A Facebook Chasity lane or email me at chasitylane34@yahoo.com
