No, I have not had it but I have had about 3 friends who did it. At first they did not look to well and about 2 of the was kind of sick. They had to get use to the fact that the could not eat a whole lot. I think the intake had to be the size of your fist. As their bodies began to get use to it the look so much better.

I have thought about it often but can't bring myself to do it because of the risk of surgery. I know that my risk is very high being overweight, too, but I keep holding out hope that THIS TIME I will be able to diet successfully. I work out 3 to 4 times a week but cannot get the eating under control. Just one step at a time and I hope I will make it.

I think you will be fine. They all look very good now and they have lost a lot of weight
