Too many what if's. I'm not saying this is a bad thing - please don't think I'm bashing it. I just don't want to see people go into it lightly. My cousin did and ended up in a coma for 6 weeks.

My father had the surgery, if he didn't do the nutrition appts, his surgery would never have been scheduled, same for my mother who had it 4 yrs later. They also do follow up, obviously voluntary, but both of my parents have done very well with their GBS. My Dad lost over 200lbs, my Mom, only a couple months out, 56 lbs. It took her almost 2 years of counseling and Nutrition meetings as well as following a Doctor monitored program before her surgery was approved by insurance.
That being said, yes there are a lot of horror stories, to most people it is worth it.
