My closest friend of 20 or so years recently had this procedure done, He was at 454 lbs. and had exhausted every other reasonable method of losing weight (and some that were unreasonable). This is not a cosmetic procedure, and should never be looked at as such. If you have not exhausted every other avenue, then you need to do that first. He has had no complications as of yet, but any surgery is risky at best. It is my hope that whatever you decide to do, you at least educate yourself about it first. Good Luck!
