Do you wish you would've had Gastric Bypass instead?
amberakamom posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My surgeon thinks I would do better with Gastric Bypass, but I really don't want to go that route. He is supportive about the band too, but his recommendation for me was GB. -

I honestly think he wants what's best for me. He's a very good surgeon. He said it was my decision of course. =) -

amberakamom replied to amberakamom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I guess he thinks it would be better for me because I like sweets and need to lose a lot (BMI is 44.) But I'm sure the money is a factor too. -

Nervous about telling friends/family that I want surgery
amberakamom replied to JaymFran's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My Mom was the ONLY one I was worried about telling. I think it's because they care about us so much that they are going to automatically be worried that something bad is going to happen. But once I told her about it and gave her a little education on it, she was totally fine. :huh2: -
Can the post-ops share with us pre-ops what we should buy to have on hand after surgery?

Hi guys! I don't have a date yet but I'm thinking it will be December. The reception said it's usually about a month after the consult, which is Oct. 29th.
