I've struggled with my weight most of my life.... I got a lapband in January of 2008 and was thrilled and doing well.  Unfortunately, I had a freak complication in July which had to be fixed and by April of 2009, my band had eroded into my stomache.  Five days in the hospital.  The recovery was long and tough and I was through trying to lose weight.  Then, it all came back and then some... I topped the scales at 270, more then ever.  I was afraid of Gastric Bypass but began researching and considering it.  I talked with Dr. Boorse in March of 2010 and it took me until July to decide to do it.  I had my surgery 9-22-10 and am recovering nicely.  I have hope again.  As of my post op check-up, I'm already down 13.5 pounds and motivated!!!!
