were you BANDED AFTER A BYPASS?

[Guest guest]

If so, please email me at MoonshadowRN@.... i'd love to know

your story, and possibly include it (with your permission, of course)

in a Band book nearing completion. no need to use real or full names,

if you'd prefer. thanks - Sandy RN

How about having the bypass AFTER you were banded? My friend had

that done to her. She's pretty pro-bypass now...but I also think

that she just now figured out what it takes to get success...like

not drinking with meals, exercise, etc. Let me know if you want me

to contact her.

thanks, but no, that is not what we are looking for. The rules for

the band and the bypass are almost exactly the same, so going from

one procedure to another is, sadly, rarely the solution. sandy RN---
