I had my lap band put in in Nov of 08, two weeks later i had my tonsils removed and was in ALOT of pain.  Needless to say i lost some weight approx 15lbs, once I was able to eat I noticed I had NO restrictions I advised my dr of this and he said just wait and it will happen.  Fast forward to Feb 09 I have my first fill and I have NO restriction and that was with a 6cc fill(the capacity on this sucker is 9) I lost all faith in the lap band and had just decided it did not work for me.  I became depressed and gained approx 40 lbs, Just this past November I decided to just suck it up and try something else.  I set the timer on my cell phone and at small meals every three hours and hit the gym 4 days a week 30 mins hard cardio and 20 mins weights.  I see results now I have lost just over 20lbs but i am hungry and I'm not ashamed to admit a little cranky.  I just went to the Dr again to day and I am scheduled to have the remaining 2.5 cc fill hoping that it will help, I asked what my options are if this does not work.  My Dr advised I can stay on the same path with the gym work and the lower calorie meals or do the bypass procedure.  I am sooooo leaning towards the bypass because I am sooooo tired of being hungry, fat, and cranky. It is a drastic move and I am concerned with the permanent factor  but right now hungry fat and cranky seems kinda permanent also as i have been two of the three for a while now.   Any thoughts?
