  1. Hi After reading all the posts on the forum it looks to me like the pre-surgery diet and the 3 week post-surgery diet is responsible for a jump start on the weight loss. After the first 3 weeks how is everyone doing with eating "normal" foods? How are they tolerated...is it necessary to eat tiny morsels of food forever? Is it comfortable to have a smaller stomach size? What I mean is.....do you have indigestion, burping, abnormal bowel movements, etc....after the adjustment period of the first few weeks? Does everything seem normal other than the portion sizes?
  2. I have just learned of GSP. It sounds very promising...almost too good to be true....so I am looking for the studies and patients that can share complications and long term realities. Afterall, it is surgery. It is not to be entered into lightly. Can the sutures stay in indefinitely or is it anticipated that the surgery will be reversed after a period of time or weight loss goal is met? I haven't seen this addressed. What is the answer to one of the other forum members question????? How long does the stomach pain and burping last? What can one anticipate besides the desire to eat less? Also, is one night in the hospital enough? When does the doctor follow up on the surgery? Are there specialists in the states familiar with this if there were an emergency of some kind? Thank you for your attention to these questions.
