Topic: RE: What would you do?
I really don't know Phyllis. If I were in your place I am not sure I would stay with the band. I have had a love, hate relationship with mine lately. I just can't seem to get those pounds falling the way I want them too. I have lost a good bit of weight but not all I want to lose. Maybe it is time for you to move on to something new...
Good luck in which ever you choose.

I hope that you continue to get good news. You are all in my prayers.

Ya, I could come back as a real *****!!!! A few vitamin deficiencies and I would be wearing a tight red dress with my tits sticking straight out tongue lashing everyone with my potty mouth.
Not to worry, I am keeping my intestines intact at all costs. I appreciate your input and I am going to give it lots of thought and dream on it too.

Sorry guys I put the decimal point in the wrong place and there is no edit on this board.
I meant to say $3.359 and $3.399

The station at my corner was $335.9 tonight. I went to a support group meeting and it was $339.9 in that neighborhood. Things won't change as long as Bush doesn't have to use his won money and pump his own gas... Our president has no idea what we pay for gas, for food at the grocery store etc. - nor does he care! He, the VP and all of their cronies have no idea how the average person manages. They only care about big business and more taxes for us...

What would I do? Good question!
What I would do would be different, because I'm self-pay, and this is it for me. If I had insurance that would approve me, AND I was going to have some sort of repair surgery anyway, I would probably get the Sleeve.
I would not get the DS, because those people are mean and nasty, and we don't want you to turn out like them!
Seriously, maybe you should hang out on the Sleeve board, or talk to Bridget and see how she is doing. I think she had a moment where she was disappointed, but I haven't heard how she's doing lately. I know she has lost a LOT of weight since her revision.

It is just so iffy. Tonight is the 2 year aniversary of the eve before I got my band. I had such high hopes. I have lost some weight and kept it off, but it has been a struggle. I have fought it and it has fought me.
I am thinking that I should seize this opportunity while it is here because I just don't think I could do another surgery if the band doesn't work out even after it is repositioned and my hernia is fixed.
Since I know it is not working right now, it is hard for me to be optomistic. I am glad that here is another surgery that does not involve malapsorption because I don't think I would ever be happy with that.
I hope you can continue to work with your band even if it takes longer to get there. But I do understand how hard it is to hit the right stride and keep it going.

Chelle, we missed you last night. I am really confused but the more I think about the long term prognosis with the band the more uncertain I am. I need to lurk on the vsg board more and get a better sense of the results and all the other issues. I know in the end I will make the right one, but it is no any easy decision at this point,

Anita ~ in South Jersey I bought gas for $2.79 and in NJ they pump the gas for you! Not like in Maryland, that's for sure.

If it was *me* I would talk to the doctor about the sleeve. Now, only because I am SO struggling - one day I am too tight next day I feel really loose. Tonight I PBed on something I have had a gazillion times and if I have it tomorrow... would I PB? My band is a tool and I am not working it - maybe I should have gone with something a little more strict. I don't know because I don't really know anything about any other surgery. I went in fully armed with the knowledge of wanting a band but at almost 2 years out I am starting to doubt my decision. So, I would talk to my doctor and make an informed decision from there.
