Trish,

Thanks for sharing the information on your friends who had this horrible
procedure! I wasn't surprised to read about their results.

... diagnosed with osteoporosis. They will have the bones of an 80
year old woman, fearful of breaking one just getting up to go to the
bathroom.  How do I know?  I have 4 friend that have had this same
procedure done.  3 of them had it done via laporoscopy (spelling?), one
had it done with a vertical incision.  2 had it done in San Diego, Ca. 2
had it done in Fresno Ca. 2 have had to have repeat surgeries due to
twisted intestine and stretching of the pouch so they  they call a
stomach, *so they can eat more*,  also one tore her pouch of a stomach
vomiting from eating too much food,  1/4 of a happy meal at McD's.
ALL  have followed the same path of doom, none have changed the foods
they used to eat before. Only the amounts.  What's worse, all ages range
from 23 and childless, to 38 with children. 2 are now on full disability
from work, 1 is on partial disability.  Very sad indeed.
