It's definitely true that people gain their weight back. I know a lady that had the bypass surgery. She weighed 425 lbs. and got down to 145 and had all the plastic surgery to remove skin from her stomach, arms and thighs. Now she is over 300 lbs again.
Speed Racer, I am sorry about your left sided pain. I do know some people that have had their bands removed because of left sided shoulder pain, but I have never heard of anyone that still has pain
on their left side any place other than in the shoulder.
Best of luck on whatever decision you make. |
