I got on here tonight kind of for the same reason. I am having exsterm doubts about what i have done. My surgery was on June2nd 2010. I have lost 53 lbs. But I havn't been able to get out of this emotional rut! I have three kids at home I cook more for them know then before, I am not wanting to eat. I pretty much stick to grape juice, no sugar popsicals, and my protein drinks. But the protein drinks do me in for a good hour or so after drinking them!! not fun! I have discomfort evetime I put any kind of food in my mouth. Yes i am excited about the lose of weight, but everyone around me ask me all the time is it worth it! YES YES! it is worth it, a chance to have myself back, instead of hiding all the time, yes it is and was worth it! I am sorry if I am not much help the main reason for me to reply was to let you know that there are other people out here that are going through the same things. Use the web for help. As I plan on doing too!

Best wishes to you my dear, and everyone that takes the time to say hello!

Congratulations, that is really exciting!!

I have been trying to find any info about the UW Med School PS program to no avail. If you could pass on any info, phone #'s, or website links, that would be great. Also, in comparison to other PS quotes you got, are you saving considerably going through UW? Thanks!

All I can say is if it were me I'd absolutely go RNY as you can see I have a band and all I lost was 25 lbs. No matter what I did that was it because I can't exersize enough to burn off anymore calories. I definately needed a malabsorptive procedure and fully regret going with the band.
