Lap Band

Apr 04, 2010

I thought I did so much research about the band and the bypass before all this finally is almost about to come to fruition.  I am seeing really negative comments for the first time.  I know that that band is going to be harder than the bypass because I have to rely on myself some in order to be able to do it.  They all really can be gained back from; I know because an old friend's mom had the bypass and gained all the weight back.  I don't like hearing about the potential for more massive heartburn.  On the bright side, not everyone is having that problem, so maybe I'll be one of the lucky ones.  Also, I already have acid reflux so I guess it would only mean I would be in the same place I already am in.  

The sleeve sounds good too, but it's more similar to the bypass to me and though I may have a foriegn object in my body I prefer not to do anything more risky if I don't have to.  I am scared enough about this surgery as it is.  Okay, now that I thought about it "aloud" again I think I did make the right choice.  If it goes wrong in the end I can still always do the sleeve or bypass then.  I prefer to think that this will be just as much help as I need and things can just go wonderfully.  I can't believe it's already going to be the day after the day after tomorrow.  Eek!  So excited and anxious.
