Hi, I am with you. I am scheduled to have the gastric by pass on the 5th of October, I was going to have the lap band, but I worry about something going wrong. I know that they mess with your insides and all,but in the long run,. you will adjust and know that you can only eat certain things and only so much.. It is drastic,but if we are serious then I thnk this would worth it. The more I talk to myself the more courage I have. I am a big chicken
