I had Lapland almost 2 years ago I lost a 30 pounds then it started to bug me. The only way I could eat anything was standing up because nothing would go down it was a nightmare. So I talk to my Dr he suggested gastric bypass I was scared to get anything moved in me.but I got it done anyway.I am now 11 days post op and very happy I'm losing almost 2 pounds a day.but it's not easy to see my family eat normal food while I'm still on liquid diet all I think about is skinny, skinny, skinny.
