So we went out last night buying some shakes before they went off sale today. The woman working the register asked about the 8 packs of shakes, and of course had a story. Her "sister" who had bypass in the 80s, and had so many problems she couldn't even drink water. So, the solution, was they gave her a lap band? What are some of the craziest stories you have heard from people?

“I could never do weight loss surgery, I wouldn’t want to take all those vitamins”....uh, what? That’s what’s holding you back? Vitamins?

You hear a lot of stories of complications and terrible outcomes but it dawned on me that of course the most vocal people on forums will usually be people who have issues to discuss. People who have the surgery and have a really easy and smooth journey wont be online talking about it on a regular basis. So sure, there are horror stories but I believe they're rare
