I HEARD ABOUT LAPBAND ON THE RADIO ALL THE TIME BUT NEVER ONCE THOUGHT ABOUT GOING THRU WITH THE SURGERY, UNTIL A FRIEND OF MINE PUT THE THOUGHT IN MY HEAD. IF I HAD A SECOND CHANCE TO CHOOSE OF WHAT PROCEDURE I WOULD LIKE IT WOULD BE GASTRIC BYPASS. I NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE ALL THE COMPLICATIONS I HAD WITH THE SURGERY. IT JUST GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I WANTED TO HAVE IT REMOVED. I HAVE BEEN THRU UPS AND DOWNS WITH THE SUGERY. IT HAS BEEN EXACTLY ONE YEAR AND I HAVE ONLY LOST 34 LBS. I AM AT THE POINT WHERE I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. ANY SUGGESTIONS, COMMENTS WOULD REALLY HELP.
