Did you not study b/4 your sx??? He is a super wonderful Doctor and has changed my life forever. All he is doing is giving you a tool to use to help you lose weight. The hair loss is only at first. Duh... it does grow back. The twisted bowl thing is very rare. Do your research before you say such negative things on the internet. The sx is not the final answer to your weight loss problem, it just gives you a boost to make it happen!!! I luv you Dr. Nick!!! Your the best!

First you tell us that we wouldn't be able to eat as much anymore? after having a gastric bypass because of the size of the pouch, And the dumping feeling we get? that make us feel sick!! i.e. (sugar), Now your telling us to diet! and exercise! to keep the fat off. lol isn't the reason we put on the weight in the first place because of bad dieting!! and not being able to exercise?(life-style) Your treating us like guinea pigs!! and getting paid lots of money.
