  1. Queen of Crop started following LainieG
  2. I went to my surgeon last Monday. At 328 lbs and a BMI of 59, he recommended the gastric bypass. I went looking into the lap band. I have not been approved for surgery yet, but hope to. By the time I left I was considering the bypass, then I saw my doctor later in the week and recommended the lap band. The biggest reason being the risks. Plus, they both said I would only lose between 40 and 60 lbs. Why am I seeing over 100 or 150 lbs lost ? I am confused by this. Can anyone tell me about the weight loss and how much you can lose.
