Switched Procedure From Band To RNY Today

[Kathy Pitcher 102]

Since August I've been researching the band, and today at my initial appointment with my surgeon he told me he thinks I'm a better candidate for bypass. I need to learn!!! Anyone have advice on resources to learn all about this procedure, and before and afters.. thanks!

I was initially going for the band at first. After research I decided bypass. Do all ur research and make the choice that works best for you.

I currently have a band and I'm trying to get a revision to the bypass. The band was not the right choice for me. I would listen to the doc. It sucks to go thru the pain of the surgery for nothing, now I have to do it again.

I have faith the bypass will be the right thing for me. Best Wishes

Thanks so much. I'm warming up to the idea. I wish you the best in getting your revision!
