  1. 'i'll be praying for you this surgery was the worst thing i've ever done in my life
  2. They said I'd be ok,they told me I could eat anything in moderation. They told me my overall health would improve. What they didnt tell me was the horror stories of what it would be like if things went wrong.. My story started 3yrs ago when i agreed to the bypass.I wanted the band but was told they wouldn't do it because i wouldnt loose weight fast enough. So I agreed to the bypass,hernia repair,and a gallbladder removed.My life changed that day, but not for the better. Oh their was weight loss,over 200lbs, and yes my blood sugar was under control. Sleep Apnea....no effect. Since the surgery its been problem after problem.unable to eat most things,bowel movements are impossible without laxatives. Teeth falling apart due to vitamin deficiency.Mental health?? what health, Be sure to find out what you can,ask questions do believe doctors know whats best for you,they dont tell you the rest of the stories,only the successes.
