Depends on what you're looking for. The surgery did help me lose weight and I am healthier, with no GERD; however, I also had another surgery exactly 1 year post surgery due to twisted bowel obstruction emergency surgery from scar tissue (Was never told could happen). I also traded the GERD for lactose intolerance :( . Your body loses weight but your mind is still in the big suit mindset so for me both good and bad but overall, I would do it again for my overall health. I heard for almost a year and a half that I was getting "to little, I must be sick" to now 2 years post-surgery and finally at a good point of steady holding weight balance. Point being make the surgery about you, not your looks not for others no to be accepted, because either way your gonna hear negative comments about yourself. There are benefits and downfalls to either way you go. It has to be a personal choice with goals, reasons and maintaining love for yourself.
