Blessed in KS 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Hi, This is all new to me. Including the chatting. I have been on the road to getting a gastric bypass surgery. Just waiting on the Okay from the insurance company. This all start in Feb. of 2007. Needless to say I am down 70 pounds and I am now considering the lapband while the insurance continues to drag their feet. I have considered the risks factors and I'm a pretty sure this is a better options for me, although I have a long way to go. :help: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

little shirl 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Hi Blessed, I feel that way too. I loved being band and I feel God knew what he was doing when he put us together it is just our mismanaging that got us here. I have been band for 5 months and have lost 43 pounds. I feel a whole lot healthier and I'm not sleeping my life away any more. I hope this will help you decide which way you go and I will be praying for you Little Shirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
