Band over RNY question

Thanks for the response... I had the endoscope done monday and he thinks my stomach is too small to put a band on and that my problem is drinking when I eat =/ My bmi was 39 and I wanted to lose around 60 or so pounds, so I'm pretty upset that he can't fix it. It's stretched, but not stretched enough. I guess I will try to not drink when I eat and up the protein. Good luck with your band though :)
You can always get a second opinion. Dr. Geller, the one that did mine, may find that he CAN place the band over your stomach. You never know, and if you want it bad enough, it's worth checking out. Have you verified already that your insurance will pay for it? That could be another obstacle. Good luck with whatever you decide. Keep us posted.
