Laura -- you've lost over 50 pounds. I'd say that's quite an accomplishment in and of itself. I have not yet had the surgery and am not even sure I will meet the criteria, but I commend you on a job well done. Keep up the good work!

Hey Mike and Stacy! Thanks for the encouragement and words of wisdom! I know this isn't a quick fix and will require committment on my side. However, probably like you, I've tried just about everything out there and I've always gained back what I've lost so this appears to be an appealing option. I'll check out the Yahoo group that you recommended Stacy. Thanks! Good luck to both of you and I'll stay in touch if you don't mind a few questions now and again. Thanks again! Tammie

Hi Mike and Stacy! I just started my long journey by attending a seminar given by Dr. Wynn. I've been reading these threads for a few months now and I have a question for you. In hindsight, would you do the Lap Band again or would you go with the bypass? It seems that there are many who feel a level of frustration with their Lap Band experience. Thanks so much!
