Hi there! I am flamessporty, and I am from west central minnesota. I have just begun my journey to weight loss surgery. I just met with Dr.Glass in st.cloud last week and I am now driving myself crazy trying to decide wich surgery to have between, lap-band and bypass. I went in thinking lap-band for sure and now I am not so sure. I am 5'4" and 210,I am pre diabetic,have high blood pressure,and high colesterol.I think my BMI was about 36.6 or so. I know in the end only I can make this choice,but I would appreciate any input or advice at all. thanks does anyone out there have experience with Dr.Glass?

thanks

I have spoken with a few of you already, I am Diane and i have decided on the RNY, I have finished with my Psych Eval, and have had my 1st Appt with WLS at Southdale Hospital, I am going in again 2/25 to meet with Nutrition again and am working on losing the 10 pounds I need to for surgery, so I am hoping to learn what my options are at my next appt. Any info on the surgery and after (Especially After) I am looking for more info on what things you ate after surgery and what has worked best for everyone, etc...
