She wore a vacuum thing on the wound for 3 months to heal her from the inside out!!! and since all this happened out of US my friend has to pay all out of her pocket!!!! $500,000 plus..... I say this to tell you, this is a life change and to get your head wrapped around the thought process that if your not willing to change your old ways of eating way too much food or the wrong foods yes it can happen....Because this was my dear friend and she thought my doctor did such a good job and he offered "Re-Sleeved" she thought she had another way out!!!! I hope I didn't scare you to bad but this is a big deal and I for one wont go back to the old size 16-18 ever again! I love this side of Sleeved but we have to be careful it will come back if we aren't careful....
