connie.zybert 7 Posted August 25, 2012 I had a family member who got that done. she lost over a hundred pounds within a yr. the only problem she had was eating right. it was hard for her to eat at all and it took alot of tries to finally be healthy. she also lost some hair do to lack of nutritious foods. keep positive and think long term...

millsy 3 Posted August 25, 2012 Thanks for the reply I chose the bypass as there is a scheme I could resort to my old ways my surgeon said that I could put weight back on if im not careful plus I didn't want to have to keep going back to hospital to have the band tightened etc I will see how I get on with it though 1 jamilett reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiggergramma 129 Posted August 25, 2012 I'm finally scheduled for banding Sept. 21st. Had to wait over a month for insurance to be satisfied with my prerequisites, then had to find a time when my surgeon could get the surgical suite at the local med center. So...now I'm just biding my time and counting down the days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MGP713 3 Posted August 25, 2012 I'm getting banded in September...Can't wait to look and feel better, but definitely nervous about the procedure and immediately post op! Sounds like more pain than I was expecting! I was thinking it would be like gall bladder surgery...anyone can compare that for me? 1 Nayelli reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
