Yay. ^^ Glad to hear it. How are you?

considering the circumstances I'm better than I thought I would be

Great! Glad to hear it. ^^ Very glad.

Yeah it didn't go as smoothly as I wanted at first but I think I'll be feeling a lot better really soon.

Good. I'm glad you're alright though.

yeah I'm happy too I can't wait until I start to feel like normal

Hopefully that'll be very soon.

so far I think I'm doing better because I didn't make as big of a stink as some other the other patients

Stink? Like you didn't toss a fit?

yeah I guess thats what I mean xD I did cry a little and cough a lot and I felt bad because this lady across from me in the beginning seemed fine but then another lady came in and she was frantic

O-o wow, seriously? Which one was it if I may ask? The surgery I mean. I know about the bypass and the banding but nothing else.

lap band and because it was laprascopic I don't have a huge scar

Oooh, alright. They aren't doing the bypass laproscopic anymore?

oh they probably do but they don't offer bypass here. I'm kinda glad they don't though. Because now that I think of it if I got bypass I would be in terrible shape and if I needed to reverse it for any reason I'd have to go through such an ordeal. But with this band it doesn't permanently alter my anatomy.

I didn't even know you could reverse bypass. It's surprising that I know more about the band than I do the bypass considering my mother had the by pass done.

you probably could your entire stomach is still in your body its just been cut in sewn and yeah my little information booklet had info on all surgery alternatives
