OH I DON'T think you want the by pass! I know to many people that have gained back weight with it... U can stretch that pouch. My mother cousin lost like 90 and then started to eat and put 50 back on on by pass. We think the band keeps you on track. U will want something good to eat and u will have to have it... BUT the band will keep you from eating it all..... Just hang in there u will like the band. by pass is so much more involved....... Look what Ben lost in a year! U don't want it to come off to fast... Then you have skin stretched and hanging. slow and steady wins the race!!!! doctors will push you in that direction they did with me! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!! I have Ben friend you so you can talk to him!
Hang in there

This page confuses me! I guess I will learn more about it as I go. It would be great to talk to your son also! 100 pounds is amazing! I really hope I can do as well. I would really like to lose about 120 total w/o cheating. Now I am just wondering if I should opt for gastric bypass instead though...I don't want to be able to cheat. Given the opportunity, I might do it. I wish there were ways to prevent yourself from doing so. I have no will power, that's the really hard part. Any suggestions? TTYS...Jenn

yeah this page is good and bad!!! My son thinks so to! He and his band are for real... and he says allot of of what he reads is about how you and cheat the band! boy that make him mad! He really has done well and is 100 lbs. off! tomorrow is his anniversary date for his band! he is 23. I can give you help, but he is like the poster child of this! Our Dr.(newlin) is en-pressed with how well he is doing. so any problems or questions just e him! I will have him friend you.... If you want! So that is great you passed on green light! I know they make you go do allot but I think it's a good thing. I know you have to be ready to do it. Oh boy I was such a baby about it! I was really up-set..... REALLY it was easy! I have had other operations and I thought it would be painful it really was not!!!! there is no internal pain. I had more problems with the gas they use to blow u up with so they can work! It was not that bad at all! Oh my name is Tammy by the way.....:thumbup:

Hi Moonchild,
Thank you so much for responding to me, you were the one and only! My name is Jenn, and like I said I am 28 in NEPA. It's great to hear how well you are dooing! Keep it up!!! I just had an appointment today for my 4th month and I gained 3.8 pounds. But I found out I really only need to lose 10, that's do able! I also got the green light today from my dietician and I go back on Friday to get the rest of my surgery evaluation. I'm starting to get more and more excited! Hopefully I can have this done by August, I'm praying!!! TTYS...Jenn
