I have known about the by-pass surgery for years.  About two years ago, I was orientating a new nurse with the home care agency I worked for.  After having lunch one afternoon I noticed that she was, for lack of a better term, gagging.  I asked her if she was feeling sick.  She said she was not and then she explained why.  I was intrigued to say the least.  I drilled her, lol.  She allowed me to feel where her port was placed.  She said she had lost about 87 lbs and had been banded a little less than a year.  I was so excited about the prospect.  I attended the seminar and became even more excited.  But disappointment soon followed when I found out my health insurance would not cover the the surgery.  Now, two years later, I have a job with health care benifits which will cover the proceedure and now I am well on my way.  My surgeon requires that I have an EKG done and that will be at my primany care physicians office on Monday.  I am so excited.  After Monday I will be anxiously waiting a call from the surgeon for setting a date.
