hi i am just starting....had the first visit with my doctor and am now doing all the pre operation stuff.....but i think i am going to do the complete bypass.....is this only a lapband sight? My Dr, is Dr Billy he seems nice

i am slowly being driven insane........i thought that many of the things that photonut just warned me about happened with the band....the dumping and the horrible smell after using the bathroom....i have two relatives that had the bypass.....they have never thrown up and there is no terrible odor after they use the bathroom.....my sister in law did look pretty bad for almost a year and her hair fell out byt she looks a little better my brother in law gained all of his weight back and then some but he eats huge amounts....i tend it eat bad foods as opposed to huge quanities..... Dr. billy does both but i kind of got the feeling that he favors the bypass but i could be wrong we only talked once.....there is almost too much information it is so hard to really get a handle on it

i have gone back and forth but i think because i a older and very over weight 45 at 350 i want to do something that will decrease my weight a little faster but who knows i might change my mind again
