    i hAd the band 3 yrs ago. i now have the bypass. i dont recommend the band. it can easily stretch and make it hard to restrict. i kive the gastric cuz its always restricting. snd ive lost 30lbs in 3 weeks. i bever saw results like tgmhat wirh the band. my insurance actually stopped approving the band cuz too many people switched to rny.
  20. well im back in the hospital now. they put me to sleep and put a drain in my lung. its very uncomfortable but i can breathe
  21. thx mary! im waiting for them to take me to the oR
  22. you will be fine if you slipped up and had chicken. it will be digested and gone in a week. i broke down and had a basic salad 2 night before surgery. lettuce tomatos and cucumbers with fat free honey mustard dressing lol. didnt make a difference. you just need to get in the habit of a liquid diet so it doesnt shock u right after surgery. but trust me, you wont want solids at all.
  23. thank you Panda! That means alot seriously <3
  24. thank you. praying has become one of my outlets
