Each individual varies as I am sure your doctor would explain. There are always risks involved when undergoing anesthetic and being open up.
I know several women with whom I work who have had this proceedure done. Not all were successful in keeping it off but none of them developed serious complications. They did however have to adjust their lifestyle and there are certain things that the body will completely reject as soon as you ingest it, and it will come right back up or cause you discomfort.
You will learn what you can and cannot eat with trial and error.
One co-worker had her proceedure done 15 years ago and has kept it all off. She looks great and she is much happier with herself. It helped her self esteem. She chose to do this after exhausting all other options and many lifetime diets.
I imagine you wouldn't be looking into this option if you didn't feel that you have reached a point where this is the only way for you to get the weight off.
I wish you luck and sucess in what ever you decide to do.
