angelatn2001 0 Posted March 23, 2004 Magay, Welcome! i got the band in nov 2002, i have lost 125 lbs. i know that the band has saved my life and i would recommend it to everyone! my aunt had the bypass and was in the hospital for 2 weeks and has only lost 60 lbs. total and is even starting to gain. i think that the bypass is too invasive! another thing i like about the band is that when you start to plateau you can get a fill. i think it is important that YOU are in control of YOUR own weight! good luck and keep us posted on your progress! angela Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
