Hey! Thanks for checking out my blog! It took me about a month to get everything finished but that was based on the fact that my schedule was completely free so I could bend to any date and time for appointments. Also my surgeon knew I wanted to have time before school started to get adjusted to diet Etc.
I chose the gastric BYPASS because you don't have a lap band that you have to deal with. If you get lap band I was told that you have to have it deflated if you go anywhere that you won't be able to get to a dr (cruises trips abroad etc) so things can't get stuck. Also typically you lose more weight with complete bypass. I was at 289 at surgery. I want to get to 160.
Thank you again for checking out my blog. Feel free to keep checking it out and asking questions there for others to see. I wish you luck!
