    YES. Down to normal body weight for the first time in over 25 years. No way would that have happened without this tool. I'd do it again tomorrow if I needed to.

I am 17 days post op and down 31lbs. I have been on a clear liquid diet since surgery and that has been the hardest part. I would not change my decision to have this surgery. It hasn't been easy and I have had many moments of tears, but I know I made the right decision. Luckily I do not have to cook for my kids and partner as she has done it all for me. I haven't touched a piece of food in 21 days - I had no idea how strong I could be. This has been a long and difficult journey, but if you are serious about your weight loss and want to get your life back - do it!!!:)

If you would've asked me the first three weeks I wouldn't have been able to say yes for sure because I was fighting head hunger, dehydration, and a stall. 50 pounds and 2 months later: in a heartbeat.

Yes and a thousand times YES! It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. IT WORKS!!!

I would do it again in a heartbeat--best money I've ever spent, and I spent $8000 at the Biggest Loser Ranch in Utah the year before I got my sleeve--I lost 13 lbs...

Just wish it had been available 20 years ago.

Oh wow, I didn't know you did that! Care to post about your experience? Just curious to know what that'd be like.
