Weightloss

So I was just browsing the threads and it annoys me what some people say about the surgery there not having - You can always tell the people that have bypass because they sometimes bag the lapbanders & you can tell the people that have the lapband because of the way they talk about the bypassers and I honestly don't get it. We all are here for one reason plain and simple - To loose weight and be healthier/happier so why are some people so insistent on bagging the other surgeries? Well not exactly bagging but not really being nice I guess.

I personally had the lapband because it was the only one offered to me but in saying that, when they do the bypass and they reroute your stomach, if they didn't do some of the things they did and the part of your stomach they just seal off and leave in you - IF that was taken out I would definitely consider the bypass. I just don't like the fact that something would be in me just sewn up and sitting there, kinda grosses me out.

I dunno actually why I'm writing this except to maybe get my own point out there. I mean every person that is on here is struggling with their weight and that's the bottom line so really it doesn't matter which surgery anyone gets as long as the end result is better than the starting one right?

Oh and just a little note to anyone that thinks that the lapband doesn't work - I read on a thread that one person heard that the failure rate is 40% and honestly, if that was the case don't you think there would be less lapbanders? Just putting it out there.

This blog isn't meant to offend either so don't take it the wrong way =)
