Great news Rossco Im also having this done soon , Back surgery first though. Must be such a relief dropping 15 kg . Im 161 ATM and with my screwed back cant exercise .

I had a close friend do the surgery 18 months ago , she was 46yo and 118 kg. She is now 68 kg no loose skin ,looks 10 yrs younger and is so much happier. The first 3-4 months are the hardest she told me , especially remembering to eat as you don't feel hungry.

She has said now the stomach has healed and has been a period of time she can eat an entrée sized meal. Best of all you arnt restricted by food choice either like banding. She does still have to take some supplements and drinks heaps of water. I cant wait to get it done had the first appointment and had the blood test just waiting till my back surgery has healed then ill be back to book in.

Unfortunately due to doing bodybuilding for many years the target weight for me is around 110kg . But cant wait. Good luck and keep the updates coming .
