having been married to a surgeon, i know that gastric bypass is a serious surgery. i don't know anything at all about the lap=band.

i've known people that have had the gastric bypass and done really well with it. it will more likely work for you if you're doing it for the right reasons. your health. not your looks. your health comes first and adjusting to life, after the surgery, involves a different diet and a different mindset.

i do know one man who did it and gained back more than he had weighed initially. but i also saw what he ate at dinner one night after the surgery......

i support you and will try to help you with what ever you decide to do. xoxoxo pat
