this is what i have decided to do

Three years ago, I had the adjustable gastric lap band that is still under FDA ruling. I lost only 40 lbs. because the doctors could not adjust the band anymore, it became very infected and had to be removed. While the surgeon did this lap procedure, he injured my spleen and had to convert to open. I had fluid in my lungs, became severe anemic, had a blood transfusion and high fever, high blood pressure, etc. what was supposed to be a two day deal turned out to be two weeks. But guess what? I refuse to let my circumstances get me down. I have decided to take control and have the roux-en-y done. I will not be a prisoner in my body because of one bad event. The doctors and most patients I have read about, say this is the most succesful surgery of all. Good luck to you and God Bless.P.S. you did the best you could, just like I did, now find your inner strength and move to the next phase.
