I am schedule to have surgery by Dr. Jayseelan on Feb 15 th and I am scared to death. I need to loose weight so bad. I am 56 yrs old and have a bad back. I weigh 221 and am starting to feel it in every bone in my body. I am a respiratory therapist so I have to be on my feet 12 hours a day. I have heard so many horror stories about throwning up all the time. Can you make me feel better about this. I don't want band so tight I can't eat at all. Is Dr. Jay pretty good at listening to his patients?
