I need info/advice on the bypass. My surgeon thinks it's the best option for me, but I was only considering the lapband. Can you point me to boards that discuss it? Or threads? Or people's experiences?

My boss had it done, and she's been in hell. But I know 2 other people who have had it done and they seem happy with it. But I need to gather more data before I decide.

Thanks!

Check out Obesityhelp.com. That's a longstanding support site that's been mostly RNY-geared for years. You'll find lots of very enthusiastic people over there. Sadly, it also has a memorial page for members who have died along the way.

Go and learn, indeed. It's vital that you choose the best procedure for you. But don't let your doctor make the decision for you. This is YOUR decision.
