OK, I am having second thoughts

Hi!  I had gastric bypass in July 2007.   When beginning to think about weight loss surgery I was certain that the lap band was for me.  But, after much research and soul searching, I decided that I wanted a surgery that made a permanent, irreverable change.  I did not like the idea of having a port, and relying on fills to keep the band at the right tightness.  I have been very happy with my decision.  I had never had any surgeries, or even been in the hospital, so I was scared.  But, the surgery was a snap, and the recovery wasn't difficult at all.  Yes, there are times that my pouch is disagreeable, but that has lessened as time goes on.  I've lost 85 pounds and hope to lose about 30-40 more in the next year.  My weight loss has been slower than many people's. but I've been very satisfied with the results.  I''m sure that you will know what's right for you and make the decision that will best fit with your goals and lifestyle!! Good luck!
