		<description>An ex coworker had GB surgery and he&#039;s doing well on it. However, a friend of mine decided against doing the surgery and decided on the GB No Surgery formula. She&#039;s lost 40lbs in 2 months and she no longer needs the formula. Her stomach physically go smaller and no longer needs the formula for support.</description>

		<description>Weight loss is a hard thing to go through. A co-worker of mine decided to go through the Gastric Bypass surgery and is managing to keep if off. He&#039;s still losing weight. He looks great. 

A friend of mine decided against the Gastric Bypass surgery even though I told her how great my co-worker looked. She ran across a weight loss formula that created the bypass effect without the preparation and complications of having a gastric bypass surgery. She&#039;s been on it for a month now and she&#039;s lost 27lbs. Almost 1lb per day.</description>

		<description>Losing weight is pretty tough taking off, but always easy to put on. There are so many factors that go into losing weight. First, you have to have a good mindset and be ready to take weight loss head on. My aunt did by buying a weight loss formula. Sure, she ate half of what she ate before, but she also exercised at least 30 minutes a couple days of week. If she ordered a greasy hamburger, she would order a salad instead of French Fries. It&#039;s those healthy decisions along with the weight loss formula that helped her lose 20lbs in one month.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s good that people are losing weight with the surgery. My friend contemplated GB surgery and decided to go through with it. She gained the lbs back that she lost and decided to try the Roca Labs formula and has been able to keep the weight off for over a year now.</description>

		<description>I have not had GB surgery, but my Aunt had been contemplating it for a while. She was over weight, but just didn&#039;t want to deal with the effects of having surgery.

She ran across Roca Labs program and decided that it was much cheaper to give them a try than to spend a lot of money on the procedure. She was able to lose 20lbs using the formula and she hasn&#039;t gained a pound back. It&#039;s been two months since she stopped using the formula and she&#039;s maintaining her weight.</description>

		<description>This is good information... I have tried the Roca labs gastric bypass effect and it worked for me. I have lost a lot of weight without the complications of the gastric bypass. I think this would be a good substitute to the bypass itself.

I think the information here is very helpful as we will be able to understand ourselves better and be very careful of our chosen diets.</description>

		<description>Hello Andre, It is unfortunate about the grief that you and your family went through, and medical innovations usually follow tragic events like this, I am over weight and I have had many thought of weight loss surgery, but, that is it just a thought i went on line looking for any answer I could find and I found RocaLabs, they offer something different, it makes sense, a formula consisting of natural fibers that you drink and it expands in your stomach sending the message of fullness to the brain, and you simply do not want to eat. i wish this had been around for your mother.</description>

		<description>I agree with you Doctor. Being a nurse, I know what ADDICTION is. I have worked in a mental asylum for a couple of months and I don&#039;t think its the surgery that is to be blamed with all the addictions that occurs in a patient after having one. but just a tip guys, if you are scared to have the surgery yourself you can find other alternatives for your weight loss, there&#039;s weight watcher, nutrisystem, pills and RocaLabs Gastric Bypass Formula. The thing that you called &quot;ADDICTIONS&quot; are all in the mind. You will never get addicted to a certain thing if you yourself doesn&#039;t want to get addicted to.</description>

		<description>It is mind over matter. I&#039;ve tried every diets, name the diet programs you had and I tell you I&#039;ve tried them all but nothing would really last. Surgery is nightmare for me. I do little exercise and eat too much, specially at night before going to bed while watching tv. I don&#039;t know what else to do but I have to keep on trying or else my husband will get me in to surgery. @kellie, thanks for sharing. Right now I&#039;m still researching about this Rocalabs formula. If it worked for you, it may work for me too. I&#039;ll check with my doctor first before I order. I&#039;m excited and I&#039;m really hoping this time result will last. It says on their web I will get a 4-5 month supply, one dose remains 10 hrs in your stomach and makes you feel full. This is what I need I guess cus I never stop eating until there&#039;s nothing left. I&#039;ll be needing your support. Hope to hear more about this.</description>

		<description>I have been struggling with my weight for years.  I am 45 years old a mother of 5 and have a grandson. I had a girlfriend that had the surgery done and lost a lot of weight, but she did not look &quot;healthy&quot; she was so limited into what she could eat and passed out a lot due to her sugar levels dropping. My mothers neighbor had the surgery done 4 years ago and is still heavy, but has many complications due to the surgery. Having seen close hand of the effects of surgery I looked for alternatives.I found this new formula that claims to work just like the surgery limiting your food intake by Rocalabs.  It was a bit pricey for a diet at $480 but still cheaper than surgery.  I purchased it in March of this year and I am happy to say that I have lost a total of 62 lbs.  It is no magic pill and is based on fibers, but it did work for me.  Maybe it was mind over matter, but after having tried all that was out there like pills, weight watchers, jenny craig, slimfast etc. I finally lost weight and have been able to maintain.  I had no side effects except some mild diarrhea that passed after a few days. I would suggest to anyone out there who is considering surgery to check for alternatives first and use surgery ONLY as a last resort. It may not be the Rocalabs formula for you, but something else.</description>

		<description>What you don&#039;t understand is that for many of these people the alcohol, drugs, gambling and shopping did not start until AFTER by the surgery. Those problems did not exist. Read and understand the story. One addiction replaces the other. My sister barely had a glass of wine prior to her surgery. After her surgery it slowly escalated to alcoholism.</description>

		<description>People don&#039;t believe or realize you can be addicted to food. You can&#039;t simply say to get professional help if you have no clue you have an underlying problem in the first place. Most have the surgery for cosmetic reasons only to find later there is more to it. You have no clue until something like this. I heard about this phenom years ago and instantly related to my sister. My sister had bypass surgery in 1997. Slowly as years went by, we noticed she drank more and more until it was obvious she was an alcoholic. She barely drank before. She passed away almost a year ago after a liver transplant. She was an amazing woman. I don&#039;t blame Gastric bypass at all. I think peole should be counseled to determine if they are addicted to food and have it treated before or during bypass. YOU people who have not felt the pain of losing someone special can never understand the helplessness involved with suddenly watching a vibrant person slip away.</description>
