OOps, think this is where I want this.

HI

I am researching surgical weight loss. I have been to several presentations and was the most impressed with Dr Martin in Dayton, Oh. Was wondering if anyone else has heard anything about him? I was originaly going to have the Rou N Y but, I have somethings tht I am afraid will make that impossible. Would love to hear from informed members that have any input for me. I have a partially rotated bowel ( appendix up under rt. ribs, and I also take time released anti depressants and worried about problems with irritation and absorbtion.) Thanks Badger 2

Badger, best of luck to you! Research, research, research -- the type of weight loss surgery that you want, the surgeon, your aftercare. You just can't check it out enough! The Lapband will not affect your food absorption quality at all. The Lapband and RNY are totally different. Please be sure that you are well informed before making any final decisions. Good luck!
