My fellow Notorious November bandsters, just wanted to let you know I have switched to the gastric bypass (RNY) surgery. My sugery date is Tuesday November 25th so I'm still november just not a bandster. The main reason for switching was the results of my esophogeal manomentry test. Basically my gastro told me if I was to be banded I had a good possibility of causing reflux, gagging, etc so I should talk to my surgeon about RNY. So I did and after a good 2 weeks researching (been researching both for close to 5 years), talking to others I knew had it and chatting on line with people I am comfortable with the decision to switch. Good luck to all my notorious november bandsters, wish you all great success.
