Hey. I've had 2 Sections now. The first one, I gained SO much weight cause I ate nothing but Junk and didn't exercise. But when my son was about a year old, I finally started doing something about it and finally lost 70 pounds, gained 10 and lost it again, so I would say I lost 80 pounds.
So its actually fairly easy once you get into it. So now after my second section, I just went swimming for the first time today and it felt SO great!!
I don't think the scar tissue effects the weight loss. It didn't for me anyways. But I was pretty big (Still am fairly big) So I had a lot of fat to lose. But it really just melted off when I was eating right and exercising! I found that swimming is wonderful! And walking helped a lot too!
