Hello, I would like to share with you a little bit on my stomach Stapling. It was done back in 1988. I went through the sugerey just fine and got well real fast. The thing that I was amazed at was, the fact that I could only eat 2 to 3 ounces at a time. I had to make sure that I ate a good diet and take my vitamins. The first month , I lost 30 pounds. I was so happy with myself. I started walking a little and felt good until I started haveing pain in my side and found out that I had gallstones. I needed to go back in to have my gall bladder removed. They told me that this happenes alot to people that loose large amounts of weight. Anyway, I got over that and in the next 7 months I had lost 124 pounds. I did exercise and did my walking. I took very good care of my self. Well, some people have very good luck with the stapling and keep their weight down. Two years after loosing the weight, I gained it all back plus more and was so depressed over it. Finally, I had to learn to like myself again and learn to eatin a more natural way. I ended up loosing 90 pounds just by eating low fat, baked , boiled and BBQ foods and lots of veg. I just ate a healthy balanced diet. On the weekends I would go and have a nice dinner out. I did keep up with my exercises and I'll tell you , I wouldn't advise anybody to have sugerey until they have tried a more natural way of life... First learn to except your self and love your self the way that you are....God Bless Tina
