Thanks
 I will look into that. I believe that is a little cheaper than the bypass, could save me some money but I am more concerned about long term. I don't want to have another revision years from now. I will surely give it some thought.
Thanks a bunch.......

Hi I am new to posting here. I had my lapband removed in 2008. I am now trying to make the decision to have the Gastric Bypass. Would love to hear some of your stories. Dr's- Cost- Would you do it again? Any suggestions would be great........
Thanks...... decisions, decisions......what should I do????

Sorry to hear that, in my support group one woman had trouble with water so she switched to gatorade.....not sure if that is any help.

Out of everything that could cause me discomfort it had to be water. Will the feeling of  discomfort ever go away? I have a new found respect for water and it hates me lol.

Hi!  And welcome back!  =)

I don't know anything about the intussusception (other than that it sounds like no fun at all) - you might try posting about it on the RnY Forum or even the Main Board though because there are periodic posts about it on those boards so I know there are folks that are familiar with the whole thing out there.

As far as getting back on track, have you looked at the Back on Track Together Forum?  I'm not sure how active it is right now but I know it has helped several people.  Here is the link:

I know of there is a South Sound Support Group through OH that meets regularly, I've been meaning to go but never been able to get out there, but it's supposed to be great.  The link for that is:

Vitalady (Michele Curran) also has support group meetings - you'd need to call them and get their schedule though because I don't have it anymore.

Anywho, hope some of this helps.  Best of luck to you on your continuing journey.=)
