Trisha N.
Hello Trish is the name. I am currently at 285 lbs...........boooooo..........I am really looking into getting WLS. I am having difficulty deciding if the lap band or gastric bipass is going to better for me. The doctors office says I should have the bipass, as I want to loose approx 100 -120lbs. I have a wonderful husband (been together 14 yrs) a 21 yr old Stepson David, a 17 yr old Daughter Allyssa, & a 11 yr old daughter Autumn. My family is great! I am having some difficulty with Allyssa as she is so scared I will die if I have this surgery. She says she will not stand behind me for the surgery. She says there are too many risks and I am all that she has. She loves me the way I am.
I hope that there are many people who can give advice or talk about thier stories.
Thanks Everyone!
