She had gastric bypass in 2002. I told her that it weirded me out to have my plumbing rerouted and also I couldn't live in a world without icecream. (she gets severe dumping with ice cream). She told me that the thought of having something implanted in her weirded her out so that's why she chose gastric by-pass. I was told by several people that I'd have better results with bypass... but I still think I'll have better long lasting results with the band because of the adjustability.Kikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198063370461455405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-17388264663512030572011-07-28T11:32:11.407-04:002011-07-28T11:32:11.407-04:00I agree - your reasons are also mine....I have a f...I agree - your reasons are also mine....I have a friend who just got the sleeve procedure, and my first thought [once I understood what it actually WAS] was "OMG, they remove some of your STOMACH?? WTH!!!!" And weirdly, I also started wondering if maybe I should be thinking about that instead of the band...for about 5 mins. Then I realized that I'm doing what's right for me, and he's doing what's right for him. Everyone is different, and makes the decision for different reasons.

I kept coming back to the the idea that the band is reversible and has less potential complications. <br />I find now that I like making my body learn these healthy habits in order to lose. Everyone is different but I know the band was the right choice for me. I am gald I did not allow him to change my decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-23251891722774153202011-07-28T09:45:22.236-04:002011-07-28T09:45:22.236-04:00I totally agreed with your reasonings (which is wh...I totally agreed with your reasonings (which is why I have a band. go figure). Do I get jealous when I think of all the people in my class that got the bypass and will probably lose weight way faster than me? yes. But I know I made the right choice for me, and in the end that's what matters most.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516153948541692628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22446690464444325.post-68053221499805847662011-07-28T07:43:41.984-04:002011-07-28T07:43:41.984-04:00very well said.
