I just wanted to thank everyone for their help with all my questions and my problems. I really have appreciated all your help and support, after the news of my recent problem with my tubing and them suggesting another surgery, I have decided to part ways with my band and switch to the bypass surgery. Im a little nervous but excited, The band has been great while it worked for me. I think i was just one of the unfortunate ones that it didn't work for, but after 60,000 being billed to my insurance for the 2 surgeries to fix it, I just don't think it's worth another one. I wanted to say thank you to you all for your support and wisdom and hopefully I will be able to keep you all up to date with how im doing once I get to be a loser again...
Thanks a bunch guys,
Cindy
