what kind of surgery did you have?

I just had the Laparscopic gastric bypass on 4/10/08. I chose it because of 2 reasons. Both reasons my Doctor also agreed with. 1st there is not enough research on the scar tissue that may grow over the band and its possible effects. We already know about staples. 2nd my weight is all in my abdominal area. This is the worst type of fat.  Lap Gas Bypass  was the one to give faster results of weight loss and diabetes control or/no diabetes. I have already dropped one of my meds for Diabetes and now I am working on dropping the other one. It is all based on research and personal preference. Good Luck on whaterver you choose to do.

Hi, I chose the lap-band for the same reason as you.  I definately feel I made the wrong choice.  I am thinking of a revision to the bypass due to throwing up, stuck feeling, and never feeling satisfied.  I think everyone is different, regardless of what surgery you have it is a lot of work.
