Amy, my pouch was made much bigger than typical, too. My surgeon did it because I was struggling so much with the side effects from the LapBand and she was worried that a small pouch would cause me more issues with reflux. Grateful for that, since the acid still really sucks, but god I wish I could eat less. You'll be a success no matter what you choose!

Don't think of it as a failure, we are lucky we live when we can get help in any way it's offered instead of suffering through it. Get ALL the help you can get. I usually ask the Dr "what would you do?"

Great question - I'll ask her that! My NUT told me she would do whatever she needed to do to keep a healthy weight - she is 2x banded, revised to RNY and now on Wegovy (Ozempic). I have all this help right in front of me! I agree we are so lucky

Ugh, I am sorry for all you are dealing with! I know you will make the right decision for yourself! Good job on wine free since the weekend too, especially with all you have going on!
