Three women I work with have had the surgery. The first one looks and feels wonderful several years after the procedure. The second one really got too skinny and didn't look healthy. It's taken a while but she finally looks and feels better. The third woman has had a complication where she isn't absorbing nutrients. She lost her weight very, very quickly and didn't feel well at all. She and the second woman have lost a great deal of their hair. I guess that is a side effect and it will come back. They have all said though that they must be vigilant about what they eat for the rest of their lives. So the surgery isn't a "cure" but an "aid".
I guess as with everything else it depends on the person.
