surgery was my last option until I was referred to a natropathic physician. she physically pulled my stomach down, helped with my diet(which included protein,no raw food, and little carbs), acupuncture and some supplements. after about six months I did not need to see her regulary. It has now been two years and in the last eight months I have only had to have my stomach pulled down once. I did not want to do the surgery because it either works great or not at all. I have heard both scenarios. for me surgery has to be a LAST resort.
