My sister is considering this surgery and I am helping her collect as much information as I can. I’d especially like to know if there are any bad side effects, the cost of the operation and if there are certain countries where it can be done cheaper.

back when this surgery was relatively new my mom had it.. she lost LOADS of weight in a small period of time which is never ever good, she also was not warned about the so called " dumping" that comes along with it essentially its if you eat the BAD foods such as high fatty foods you’d become quite ill because the pouch in which she had couldn’t handle it..they also didn’t tell her to take vitamins which is essential in actually getting the nurtrients you need because once you have this surgery your food intake goes down dramatically..as I said there have been major advances in this surgery since she had it but still there are major risks and should only be considered if a doctor recommends it.. there are several tests you must pass first to even know if you qualify for this surgery.. but if you do and you take your doctors advice and you treat yourself well after the surgery I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be successful.. just remember that with any surgery there are risks and with weight loss you must always maintain it for it to work on a long term effect. Good Luck to her! I hope she doesn’t go off somewhere else to have this surgery.. they could really botch her up and seriously its not even something *I* would consider doing.. just do it here in the states if you are approved. As far as costs I am not so sure she is just going to have to talk to a doctor and he can give her all that information.. I hope I helped you out some!
There can be serious side effects with gastric bypass surgery, including surgical complications and malnutrition. Since you can only eat small amounts of food at a time, one common complaint is that you’re always hungry. So if you’re eating constantly to deal with the hunger and you make poor food choices, you can gain the weight back. Two of my husband’s coworkers (both men) had successful gastric bypass operations and have lost quite a bit of weight. They’ve also completely changed their diets and the way they eat since the surgery.

I had my gastric bypass surgery through Forerunners Healthcare Consultants in India I don’t regret it at all I had a baby since then and I’m still able to take the weight off so far i am very happy. The key is to use a reputable surgeon. You want to be carefully screened beforehand to make sure you are a good candidate. Since my surgery I can walk without getting tired, I can play with my son; I can walk down the street with my head held high. I feel pretty for the fist time in years. I was given another shot at life. The surgery is a tool and how well that tool works is up to you!!
I would do it again in a heartbeat. I would recommend to every one who is suffering from the same problems as I did before but I would urge anyone who is interested to seek the best surgeon possible and make the decision based on the surgeon’s recommendations and your own personal goals!! Make sure the reasons for the surgery are the right one. The surgery isn’t for someone who just "wants to be skinny". Do it for your health, for your life, for family. FOR YOU.
