Hi Valerie I am losing my 25 lbs before surgery weight with Kaiser. I am starting to have doubts about having the lap band or RNY bypass. I am definitely not a disciplined person. even though I am praying for that fruit of the spirit (self control) I know it's my decision but any advice would be much appriciated. I have heard that if you are not a disciplined person you should get the RNY bypass. I also am scared about the fills and having to get an unfill and about getting something stuck swallowing. I already have that problem sometimes when I can't swallow food and it takes about 2 hours for a piece of meat to go down. AM I freaking out for no reason? In Christ Mary

Dear MaidMarion: Thanks for your reply. I went to my bariatric lifestyle class yesterday, and I lost 8 lbs I was so happy. 17 more to go. After I lose the 25 total then I see my nurse case manager and she schedules me for my surgery I am going to have lap band. I'm sorry to hear about your sinus infection. they are the worst. Get better, hope to hear from you soon. Mary
