this is really an unprofessional reply, but you will understand in the end why i replied. First off 2 good friends and co-workers of mine had the procedure done within the last year. so i have seen its effects and know something about it. Second on this last trip I met a really really beautiful woman who was a friend of the guy who dropped my rental car off for me. We all got to know each other a little and my girlfriend talked with her many times that weekend. Well she was supposed to meet me and my girl in santiago sunday night to go to a disco, she never answered her phone after 10 pm. In talkeing to her friend when i returned my car, he said she might not have been feeling up to dancing because she recently had the gastric bypass surgery... and man she was very attractive and sexy!!!!!!!would never have imagined she had been heavier..........good luck........bob
