This was my first surgery, stitches, everything. I was getting really heavy and decided to get the surgery. My mother got it a year before I did and is now looking amazing. The night after the surgery is the worst, it's hard to sleep and gas pains suck, but the nurses there were really helpful. The group of people that I got the surgery with were also amazing. They were very supportive and helpful during the process. We had a little mix up at the hotel but it was quickly fixed. The nurses at the hotel are also caring and sweet. Each day that went by it got easier and easier, you just have to remember not to let sit around all day. Get up and walk, it really helps. I'm now about 2 and 1/2 months into my surgery, I feel and look so much better. I still over eat and get sick occasionally but other then that I feel normal. I feel like I have more energy. I've lost around 40-50 pounds. It's definitely worth the money and pain at the beginning.
