jsessions

To give you encouragement, I had a lap band placed in 2008.. It led to all sorts of swallowing problems, gained my weight back a nd got sicker than a dog. Nobody would touch me to reverse the damned thing or do a gastric bypass.. Well I pushed and found a Dr. Argued with and insurance. That was one year age. Now about 110 lbs lighter and later life is great!! Fear is normal and the pain is minimal with a laparoscopic approach. I was home 48 hrs after surgery, ( actually to the hotel),and caught a plane home in a week.. I felt run down for a few weeks, but quickly ack to work...I consistently lost 15-20 lbs a month until I got to 165 lbs . I run a couple of miles a day don't take any medicines and all of my medical problems are gone gone gone!! I go to my family Dr yearly now and my surgeon cut me loose except for an annual follow up, ( surgery was done at a university hospital ). Best damned thing that happened to me!! I think about what I eat most of the time.. If I over eat or eat too much fat or sugar my gut hurts enough to stop that, but no worries.. The buggiest thing is attitude.. It n Makes all the difference Regards Joel
