hello everyone i have just joined the lapbandtalk.com. i really am desperate for as much advise as i can possibly get. i just started the process of getting the lap band surgery, but i am scared to death!!!! my biggest fear is that i get this surgery and lose my quality of life; meaning that i am so sick vomitting, stomach aches, basically feeling miserable more than feeling good. i know someone who had the bypass which i know is totally different, but she is sick every week and has so many side effects its crazy and she is 10 years post. i would appreciate as much advise as i could get. thank you all so much!
