Surgery is a huge decision. I always said that I would do anything but Gastric bypass. I wish I would have said "I will do nothing but Gastric bypass" I did lapband and plication. I understand the thought of doing another surgery is hard. Gastric Bypass is what works for most people long term. Keep reading and researching. Best wishes to you.
I feel like there are way too many of us, I'm wishing i would have waited, but I thought it was a new hope! I really haven't lost anything since the beginning,,,, I only lost my required pre surgery 10 pounds, and then another 10 by doing liquids,,, but those pounds have all returned
I had pretty bad heartburn after my surgery (Dec 2010) but prilosec does take care of it, but its 2 a day
I had some restriction for a while, but not long
I'm a plication over band, no weight loss over 6 months out, sad!
