Good luck to you. I am also new to this whole thing and am doing the same as you, looking for advice on the pros and cons of the procedure. This is definitely a good start. The website has a lot of information. -Joelle -

My mother had the gastric bypass last July and she is still suffering from hair loss, and also some other medical problems. Sorry your lap band procedure didn't work for you. Actually I am new to this sight and am looking for stories just like yours, any pros and negatives to make my final decision as to whether or not I want to proceed with having the procedure done. Good luck to you. Joelle

Hi Joelle...for the surgery, I had to have an upper GI, tons of blood work, EKG, and pulmonary test. It was all completed in one day. This hasn't been that horrible of a situation. The first 2 days were very painful, but after that they were fine. In fact, I had my surgery on Monday and was in class on Friday for summer school. So it has been tolerable. I just stay thirsty. Sipping water doesn't cut it for me.
Good luck!!

Hi: I was reading your info about what supplies you need after the surgery. I am in the just learning out phase of LapBand. I am looking for any info to help me make up my mind. Also can you please tell me how the surgery is done and how do they do the fills. Thanks, Joelle -
I know exactly how you feel I am 5' 5" and approx 230 and so depressed about my weight. I was always the skinny one at 100lbs in high school so to see myself looking like this it's very hard, even harder is losing the weight and keeping it off. I have just recently started to come to this website also to get some information about the pros and cons about having the procedure done. Good luck to you. - Joelle
