Hi. Good luck with your decision. I had an open gastric bypass. I chose gastric bypass over the lap band because it seemed like the right choice for me. I wanted something that would be forever and then researched like crazy. I had my surgery on June 20 and have lost 54 pounds. I can't eat a lot of anything..lol...but sugar is by far the worst for me....I haven't had any complications and have more energy than in years.
I was not prepared for the pain right after the surgery. I was so pumped about having the surgery that I just didn't really think about it. For the first few weeks after my surgery I thought I had made a huge mistake. The pain, not being able to eat, etc...but now I would never go back!
Good luck to you and I hope all goes well with your surgery. Kel
