Thanks, I think I was aware of the risk, I think listening to people that havent had the surgery some times get to me. I cant each as much as I use to, it wont allow me but Im not loosing I guess b/c Im not doing enough as far as my portion of keeping it going. because I do not excercise. I always plan to but I never end up doing it which is part of the reason I had the surgery b/c I could never seem to excercise. People told me that it was a tool and I guess I just didnt realize it still yet. Some times I wish I had of had the bypass instead but then you still have to work to keep it off. But I feel like atleast I would have lost more weight. I dont know.. thanks for your comment.
