Yes, yes, yes! I agree 1000%! The only thing I would add is your second or

third consults should be with surgeons who are tops in this field because

revisions can be tricky business, and it's worth a trip out of town or to a

big city, if need be, for a top bariatric surgeon....no local yocals or

newbies to bariatric surgery, please, especially for revisions.

The standard used by the surgeons at http://www.sabaratric.com is 50%

excess weight loss for 5 years.
