PLEASE READ!
I looked at your pictures on home page and unless they are very old and you have gained A LOT of weight you don't need this surgery. This is a last step for people who are morbidly obese. Just normal diet and exercise is all you might need.

What type are you thinking about doing? The lap band or the stomach one?
I know people who have had both but, it's way to much info. for this.
Feel free to contact me!
yes, my aunt was roughly 350-400 lbs. she got that surgery and now she is abut 225. she doesnt eat bad and did exercise. he mitab was soooo low. if you are thinking about doing this. please dont. i looked at your pics on your yahoo360 and your are not fat what so ever. infact a few of your more adult type picts are sexy. if you can lose the weight slowly about 2lbs a week by eating right and exersize regularly you can keep the weight you dont want off and it isnt as dangerous as this surgery.

My ex-husband had gastric bypass surgery. My best friend had the lap band surgery. If I were to choose, I'd choose the lap band. One thing I can tell you is that you have to have counseling to go along with the whole thing. You will need help changing your eating habits. My ex continued to eat too much and the wrong things. His body was a mess. He did lose weight initially, but gained it back. He lost it again (not all) but his health was wrecked. He died 2 years ago at the age of 57 (approx. 14 after his bypass surgery). So, if you decide to do either procedure, please make sure you have a support system in place . family, friends, medical team, counseling. Then you'll make it a success! God bless!
