Well, it's been 5 years, started at 360 lbs, got down to 300, had the surgery and now am at 165. I feel good, only negative is thinning hair. I still wear size large shirts, but size 32" pant waist. I still can not eat much, wife and I generally split a meal when we go out, or both get a kids meal. Bread and potatoes are difficult to eat, they fill me up SUPER fast. I take a daily multivitamin. Doc said, after last physical, "I don't know how someone age 52 gets numbers this good".
For me, the surgery was, I believe, a life saver. Very difficult genetics, mom passed away at age 69 from stroke, in my family, about age 50 you start getting the bad diabetes, heart disease, and the like. I have none of those issues.
Life is good.
