Hi Jay good luck to you on your journey the time will fly, for me ther e was no choice with the amount of weight i need to loose it had to be bypass...I am sure your surgeon will have an opinion about which is best suited for you and with all the great threads on both on here i am sure you will come to a conclusion that you feel it right for you!!.. where you having your op??

Yeah that is funny Judy I had an ecg last thursday whilst I was having my initial meetings with the nurse and medic luckily it was a female lol
Even then I still feel embarassed, and I AM a nurse lol and know that we dont take any notice of the body in that way it is just part of the routine but it doesnt stop you feeling red when your own 'bits' are on display

By the way did you do anything nice after that??????

Love n hugs Jay xx

Hi - i had the same thing went for band but offered bypass...how did you decide as I am yet to make that decision!
 
Angelwings I am STILL trying to decide lol.......I am talking to people who have had both but at the end of the day on both camps people are happy with what they have and most are doing well with their band or bypass
So really we have to think what is best for us .....for me I have had several ops in the past, and if someone was saying to me you need this op because.........I would have it no problem,but because I have a choice it is really hard to know what to do
I have diabetes and the bypass has been putting many diabetics into remission which is an amazing thing, they are not sure why it happens just that it happens I also have arthritis so any weight loss will help my joints , whether band or bypass. My bp is high etc, etc,
But long term I want to keep my weight down and dont want to go back to old ways So much to think about Where are you going to be having your procedure done??
I will look forward to seeing what you decide angel, I am thinking I should go for the bypass then it is a life change I cant 'cheat' and I just accept this is how things are now and I am better for it...............then the other side says but wouldnt the band be just as good as that is what I went for in the first place.
All I know is that the team is recommending bypass for me, and saying also I mustnt be pressured to have what I want..............but should I listen to them as they are doing them every week??
Sorry this post is all over the place just trying to let you know I understand and shared your confusion.

Love n hugs Jay xx
