yes, it's general anesthesia. it is probably going to be laproscopic, but if they are unable to do it they will do it uh, non-laproscopically. it's serious in that it's major surgery, but you leave after one night and i can go back to work in 2 weeks. some people feel like they can go back in just a few days, even. but i mean i'm going to take off of course.
basically they cut out 75-85% of your stomach. this makes it where you can't eat as much but also removes most of the cells that make hunger causing hormones, so you're not hungry either. not for a while, anyway.
i'm probably going to lose 75-100lbs in 6 months. and about 120-150+ within a year.
