I mean no disrespect, but if its so great then why do you still have weight to lose?

I noticed with my friend as well... she went down from 303 to 175 and then just stopped losing weight, and now she can overeat and gain 5-9 pounds over a weekend and has to diet to take it back off.

I guess what I'm saying is that for most people I know of that have had it done the advantage seems to only last 6-18 months and then they stop easily losing weight and have the same problems as before gaining it.

What advantages do you see from having what you had done?....do you gain much less than before?
