when i went through all the pre op stuff they found a hernia..so during the operation they said they would do both...so im sure they would do u the same as they did me....

HI I TO AM ON STAGE TWO DIET....I EAT EGGS WITH MELTED CHEESE...MASHED POTS...REFRIED BEANS AND CHEESE...BAKED POTS WITH NO SKIN(THOSE ARE MY FAV)...SF PUDDING....THE KEY THING IS TO MAKE SURE U CHEW IT REALLY WELL....IF U FEEL A CHUNK IN IT DONT EAT IT....THATS THE RULE I GO BY AT THIS POINT...I MOVE TO STAGE 3 NEXT FRIDAY....HOPE THIS GIVES U A SMALL IDEA

my mom had the bypass surgury done in july 2007...she is now 135 pounds thinner....she hasnt had any complications at all...doing great with it....now my choice was to get banded even knowing her great results..i just got my band 7-17-08...one of the key factors in me getting the band was my age...im still at a child bearing stage and wanted to have the option of being able to handle another possable pregnancy..although with bypass u can also..it just wasnt clear to me that it would be healthy....they have done studies that say with bypass u loose faster ...but after 1-2 years it equals the same as banders...so really it is a self choice....

OK SO IM PRETTY NEW ON HERE..I HAD MY BAND PUT IN ON JULY 17..SO 3 WEEKS POST OP...WHEN I WENT TO MY 2 WEEK CK UP I WAS DOWN 24 POUNDS...THATS GREAT...HE CLEARED ME FOR MUSHIES...AND NOW I GAINED LIKE 4 PDS..I ONLY EAT 2 TIMES A DAY AND ITS USUALLY EGGS OR SF PUDDING OR BEANS...WERE IS THE GAIN COMMING FROM..I DO DRINK LOTS OF WATER THOUGH... ON ANOTHER NOTE MY SURGURY AND POST OP HAS BEEN GREAT...NEVER NEEDED PAIN MEDS..HOWEVER I DO HAVE STRANGE FEELINGS THAT I DONT NO WHAT THEY ARE... HERE THEY ARE...I STILL HAVE TROUBLE BENDING ON RIGHT SIDE FEELS LIKE A BALLOON IS THERE..DOC SAID IT SHOULD GO AWAY AND THAT THE PORT IS THERE...DO U GUYS STILL FEEL YOURS...HE EVEN TOLD ME HE HAD TO PUT MY PORT A LIL DEEPER THEN NORMAL.... THE NEXT THING IS WHEN I LYE ON MY BACK I CAN FEEL MY HEART POUNDING HARD...AND SOMETIMES THROUGOUT THE DAYIF I PUT MY HANDS ON MY SIDE THEY WILL GET TINGLY LIKE THERE GONNA GO NUMB ...SAME GOES FOR WHEN I SIT LEGS CROSSED...NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE... ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THESE SAME THINGS....IM WORRIED BUT IM NOT...JUST SAD ABOUT THE 4 POUNDS REGAIN CUZ IM DOING WHAT I WAS TOLD...EVEN EATING VERY LITTLE.... SORRY FOR THE VENT....
