I have a few questions...

I have been considering LB for several months now. I am 5'2 and 210 pounds. However, I was in a car accident and had several bones broken (neck and ribs), and a torn artery. Because of the artery, I developed an aneurysm. I was given a stent, and I will have to take one baby asprin everyday for the rest of my life. I have read that asprin can cause upset stomach with the band, and band erosion (sp doesnt look right to me). Does anyone have any information on this? I intend on going to a seminar and speaking with a doctor as well, but I am in the process of moving from Georgia to New York, and buying a house, so I am so busy right now I just dont have the time. But, in about a month or two I will be ready to talk to a doctor.

My cardiologist wanted me to take a baby aspirin every day. At the time of surgery, I discontinued all my medications for diabetes, high blood pressue and elevated cholesterol ... BUT my surgeon said any pill that was small would probably never cause me a problem and that I could take a baby aspirin every day AS LONG AS IT IS ENTERIC COATED. That keeps it from dissolving in your stomach; instead, it dissolves in your intestines.
