Gastric bypass over band?
In the end it is all up to what u want. I had the same issue but i chose the lapband. They both do the same thing make u lose weight n they both r a tool. So it is just a matter of what works best for u! Best of luck to u!
-
A light turned on.
I think a lot of us get the lapband for the same reson u did, well at least I did. But in the long run it well help us out for the better! As for the wii fit............lol (sorry) My kids have the wii but I need to invest in the Wii fit. My kids tried it n loved it. It might just have to be a gift for us all! Best of luck to u! yoco28

Question: Mindset of band as a tool vs. THE fix
Im sure no matter what weight loss surgery u chose u will have to watch what u eat, with gastric bypass or lapband. It is all up to u to do the work! I have seen some ppl who had the bypass and lose realy fast but also put it right back on too. But as for the lapband u can go n get a fill to help u out again! It all depends on the person. Best of luck to u!

3/12/09 The Buzz about Coffee
My doc said that I just had to switch to decaf. At first it was not the same n so I just stoped all together! But after I was banded I just had to have some so I gave the decaf a try again n it was fine. I had to add some suger free vanilla creamer and like 3 packs of equal to it. And now I drink it everyday. MUST HAVE IT.........lol OH.....I love reading ur blogs, sometimes the pic's u put up r so funny and cute! Best of luck to u! yoco28

Got my first fill and WOW!
So I went for my first fill today and it went well.:cursing: Now I had to be there at 11:45am so I got there at 11:30am and all I saw was like 6 ppl in the waiting room. So they call me back and check my vitals and then they send me back to the waiting room. I sit there for about an hour till they call me and like 15 other ppl to the back.:cursing: We r sent to this room that has shoe covers and a hair net that we must put on. So we r all just sitting there waiting for our turn to be filled. :huh2:Im sorry but it looked like the FAT FARM...lol, I could not stop laughing. :thumbup: It also reminded me of a blog I saw that was about the Dr. Suess "A star on my tummy". It was so like that....lol:biggrinjester: So im like the 6 one to get my fill. It was not bad, it did not hurt. He put in 3cc. So now all I can have is clear liquids till Monday:thumbdown:. yoco28
