Rachele, I cann't thank you enough for all the info. I will be spending the week doing research. Before my new Dr. does anything he wants to put a camera down my throat to check everything out. I also have to do the insurance thing again too. I am not sure if they will let it go this time since I started at 307 and am running 190-194 right now. I want to see a minium of 150, dr wants to see 130. I will keep you posted on how things go, thanks again. Lauren

Rachele, thanks for letting me know you love your bypass but what is a ds bypass verses a regular? How much more weight have you lost. I am down about 117 since getting my band done. My new dr. says I should lose another 65 to 70lbs. Have you been able to lose easily?

I was banded in March of 2004 and just had to have my band removed last week. It had slipped up on to my esphogus and I guess has been there a while because there was to much damage done to have it moved or replaced. I was advised to have a bypass unstead. Has anyone else gone through this?

Hi Zoe, I still have another 55 lbs before I see my 160 goal. I didn't put it on over night, but I am sure hopping that I can lose it faster.

Hi, just joined. I enjoy seeing the results of everyone. I was banded on 3/9/04. To this date I am down 89lbs. I have had 6 fills. Right now it is a hit or miss. Some days I am restricted and others it is like I had nothing done. Anyone feel the same way?
