OK so I am going to have a gastric byp ( the one where they do the six small incisions) in a couple months.?

and I would like for anyone and everyone who has ever had this done to please tell me how their surgery (before and after) went, I would like to know how it has changed your life for the good and for the bad. If you don't mind could you please tell me how many lbs you were and how many you are now. I want to make a very well informed decision on this. My sister says a couple people she knows has had it and they hate it cause they can't eat a full meal or drink with their meal. Thank you ahead of time for anyone who tells me about their surgery.
