    I am seeing so many people who were banded have to "revise" the surgery to bypass. I have been set on the band, but recently am having thoughts of "will I just have to have bypass eventually?" I am concerned about how long the band will last and long it will be effective! Has anyone else had these thoughts?

    February Bandsters?

    kelmelmom24 replied to mrsmyers2010's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I "hopefully" will be a Feb bandster!!! Just finished my last nutritionist appt and they are sending it off to insurance-fingers crossed! My Nurtritionist said about 30 days from now-hey I will take earlier if I can :0) Good Luck to you!!!

    I had my gallbladder removed a few years ago and will be banded in Feb of 2012. I am wondering if anyone has had both procedures and how do they compare? I was in alot of pain after the gallbladder surgery and felt like I was on fire! Just curious..... Thanks Kelly

    I agree with you that many people are wanting "overnight" results- and the bypass scares me to death! Its all about making good choices and exercise. I too have seen people with the bypass looking frail and sickly. I am going forward with my band decision! I am going to do research on long term just to ease my mind.

    I have only told a few people about my pending WLS, and don't understand why people think I am crazy!! I keep hearing are you crazy' and "don't you know the risks"? My hubby is very supportive - but even my mother thinks I am crazy for considering WLS. I'm am having surgery-I am doing it for my health and to get my life back! Has anyone else experienced this reaction from friends?
