Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. On 9/11 my lap-band is coming out and I'm having bypass. This is due to esophageal erosion, heartburn and a hiatal hernia that just won't quit. I've never made it to slender, but I've been happy with my size. I'm looking for folks on a similar journey for support. Thanks!
I'm not a big breakfast person... It's typically a cup of coffee (which I'll be trying to give up post surgery, much to my chagrin). I usually eat a yogurt or some nuts a couple of hours after I get to work. My band has always been tight in the morning, then looser as the day goes on.
That's the procedure I'm having done on 9/11... lap band removal to gastric bypass. Mine hasn't failed, per se, but it did erode my esophagus and my GERD is awful!
