Hi, no I am not from massachutsetts but have always wanted to visit their. How long have you had the pain in your side and does anything make it worse or better. I too have trouble eating the right stuff and no problem at all eating all the bad stuff, which I do because I am hungry and it is good.lol But it seems like even when I am good and whatching what I eat I still do not loose weight. I walk almost everyday and if I did not I probably would gain weight. I am thinking about maybe seeing another lapband doctor for a second opinion but I hear it is hard to get someone to see you if they did not do the surgery. I too keep thinking about bypass because people loose so much weight so fast. But I have already gone threw this and my surgery was very hard for me. I did not have any problems but it took me along time to recover and was very painful. I do not know if it is because of my age or what. So you see I do not want to go threw another surgery if I do not have to. Also like I said to you before their is not gaurantee that in a few years I won't gain it back, their is another site called livingafterwls.com it is a site where people talk and discuss things something like lapband but most of the people have had bypass surgery and have or are gaining it back and they discuss it all on this site. So you see even people with bypass have problems to. It has been nice talking to you and I hope you all the luck and write to me anytime. nana
