Feeling lost
Stop the self loathing .You are strong and on the right track to at least knowing you have to change and need help.So you "pigged out" and you feel crappy and full of guilt.Remember this feeling and move on.See your doctor and get the Mamogram and take care of that medical issue.It may not be anything...I had metatastic breast cancer 3 years ago...I am still going forward....go through the process and keep the faith.

RNY or DS?
I don't know enough about DS.In late December I got a revision from lapband to bypass...very happy with bypass so far but it is early. You need a highly skilled surgeon for these procedures.

"My Diet is Better than Your Diet" -- random rambling...
Can't you see Oprah will have the sleeve in secret and WW will get the credit of seeing her lose weight steadily and she will look fantastic and further make WW look as though their plan is the ultimate...like Jennifer Hudson and Kirstie Alley....they secretly had WLS....the sleeve is too great to pass up if you are a star...Oprah is not stupid....she had access to WLS ...her best body yet will be the sleeve and WW will get the credit....Cha ching

Revision from Band - Surgeon wants sleeve, I want bypass!
I am still in the process of fulfilling requirements for insurance submittal for revision to RNY. I have considered a sleeve, but after much research I have decided on RNY. I wish I had done it from the get go. I feel sleep and band are similar... I feel I have better chance at weight loss with RNY, as scared as I am to go through it... But I am soooo done with band! Make sure you have a very experienced surgeon....revision surgeries are not easy.Dont be afraid to change.
