oh ive lost the same 70 pounds twice, however, the surgery i had in 2016 has left me with a legacy of repeated ulcers and now ive developed anemia that has left me with horrible symptoms since august of 2020, I cant take iron pills and i have agoraphobia so i cant leave the house to get an infusion of iron. Its killing me. Worst mistake i made in 63 years. My son had the sleeve done in april of 2021 and hes had episodes of blood clots twice since then...
I pray someone has better luck with this surgery than we have.
