As an option bypass is getting better and better I have a few friends with bypass and they have done well. There are many more oprtions out there now for bypass patients re:Vitamins and acceptable nutrition. I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Good Luck in your journey. I personally have the band.

Looking for a buddy, someone that would like to email on a pretty regular basis and really help keep me on track. It's basically like I have to restart the entire journey over again. So, if you think you might be a good match for me, I'll be waiting to see ya in my inbox.

Awesome start, there is also a DVD called Weigh to Win, it has 3 levels of workout, the first one is done in your chair... I enjoyed it.:thumbdown:

Depends....whose insurance is paying for the band?

I feel ya, although I am very far away from PS, I will say this, I have done a lot of research and I would like to offer my opinion. I have given this a lot of time and consideration. Some insurance pays for a panni, however, the result may not be what you were looking for. I am considering a tummy tuck-they are not the same thing. Also a panni does not consider your mons-the top of your pubic area-a different procedure. Sometimes if you have a panni your mons is streched up to your belly button and is a less than desirable look and no real way to correct it. I would encourage you to find a Plastic Surgeon who specializes in massive weight loss surgery so you get the look you really want. I know often procedures can be combined. I am probably 4 years away from having plastics, please keep me posted re: your journey.
