Hi,
Sorry you are having such a hard time. It would seem that the lapband did not work for you. If your doctor wants to do a gastric bypass, this is an option you have. I had mine 11 years ago and would do it again in a heart beat. I know that everyone is different and my results may not be the same as yours. My suggestion that while you are deciding, you do some research on the various gastric bypass procedures out there. Look at the pros and cons as well as the long term affectiveness of the procedure. The more you KNOW the better you will feel about your decision. Hang in there and keep in touch on your journey to a healthier you!
