Absolutely exactly what Notinks said.

Love love love the bypass!! So upset with myself for being too scared of it the first time around. I can eat more than a typical bypass patient, and could from basically the beginning (I'm five months out), but I get truly full and feel normal. I had horrible reflux with the band, now resolved. Nothing healthy worked with my band, now resolved. I don't have dumping, which in a sense is sad because that would be a good deterrent, but I enjoy it because I don't feel a slave to bypass like I did with the band.

I'm up to 59 pounds, and yesterday was my five-month surgiversary. It'd be more if I were perfect with the diet and exercise (I'm just not). I make better decisions than I used to, but I give myself some wiggle room because I just truly believe life isn't worth living without some treats. I may never wear a single-digit size, but that's okay with me. And how can I complain about 59 pounds in five months?!?!?!
