If I don't make it, and you are still there Friday, I'll see ya then, when Dr. Roll does the surgery to me! My thoughts and prayers are with you tomorrow on your big day!

Hi Patricia... back in 1991 I had the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty along with my gall bladder removed... A year later I had a bilateral breast reduction, abdominal plasty and a hernia repair. I did great both times. The second time I was in surgery 6 hours. Surgery by its very nature is hard on the body each time they have to put a person under, so if a doc can accomplish more than one thing better in the long run. I have heard some surgeons are taking out the gall bladder with this surgery as there can be gall bladder complications later that may require surgery again. I did lose 170 but over the years gained it all back plus... so now I am going to have the RNY - open revision and am not going to mess this one up!!!! I MAKE CHOICES AND THIS IS MY CHOICE!
