April 28th pending ins!
Congratulations, I started this journey in October or 2007. I was originally all set to do the band too, but after one last meeting with my surgeon I took his advice and started to seriously consider RNY and have now changed my surgery to RNY. Gastric Bypass is hopefully going to be the best tool for me, however I do have times that I wonder if I should have gone with the band like I originally wanted. My hairdresser had RNY last May and she is doing wonderful and has had only one minor complication but says that she would do it all over in a heartbeat. Just being around her is different, she is so full of positive energy and swears that she doesn't know what they did, but she is never hungry anymore. She said that she used to eat all the time and since surgery she just eats to live. Keep in touch.
