Thank you Beth!!! I wish my doctor at the time would have given me that same advice; it probably would have saved me 6 years of pain & trouble!! But, lesson learned & I can't do anything but move forward from here!!

 Hey there,
I am Trish, and I went into my first consult asking for the lap band, and my surgeon encouraged me to do the RNY.  Back then, he did them open, and I still went ahead with it, because I trusted him, and I believed I was in good hands.  I was right.  He is the best surgeon in the world.

My sister got a lap band two years ago, and has had trouble with it.  I think she is in communication with a surgeon at RWJ as well, because she works in Trenton.

As has been said before, I would have this surgery again in a heartbeat.  I have not reached goal, because of some unhealthy choices I made one year out.  I see my surgeon in November, and plan to discuss my current weight loss, to see if I am back to headed in the right direction.  

I wish you the best of luck as you wait for your surgery.  Oh, my daughter's birthday is July 25.  She turns 36 this year.

Hugs,
Trish

Hi Trish

I definitely feel/felt your sister's pain; I would never discourage anyone from the lap band because it DOES work for some, but I'm SOOO glad it's out of me!!!

I hope you get the answers you are looking for when you go see your surgeon; I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Wish my birthday buddy a happy birthday from me lol
