I'm going over to the dark side!

After 2 frustrating years, I am having my band removed and revising to a bypass. I've lost and maintained a 100 lb weight loss but I still have 100 more to go. For the last year and a half I have had constant problems with abdominal pain and food backing up into my esophagus. I have had so many ER visits and tests and procedures. They deflated my band in the spring and I have continued to have these problems. I never know what is going to cause an episode. One time it was oatmeal. Another time it was one dorito. I am hoping that the bypass will help with this and get my weight loss moving again. Thanks for all the good advice over the years.

I'm sorry you've had so many problems. Good luck with the bypass.

It sounds like the choice you have made may be the right one for you. If I had a few more lbs to lose, I may have made that choice from the beginning.

Good luck to you. Let us know how you are doing.

Well I got a surgery date for Nov. 3 and just found out I'm pregnant with my 6th child. I guess the Lapband gave me my fertility back :-) I have very mixed emotions about it. One weird thing is that the pregnancy seems to have cured my stomach problems. Oh well. I guess I will just have to put everything in God's hands and go with the flow.
