This is my only contribution. Yeah. Yesterday I spent 45 minutes (while I was sick, getting sicker, and having a panic attack in a Jacuzzi) listening while a guy told me all about why I should get Gastric Bypass. Trust me. I have thought about it. But I will be honest, 1. I think that with my health I could die during surgery 2. you have to lose 10 pounds as a show of "good faith" that you will be careful before ever starting...
IF I COULD LOSE THE 10 POUNDS WHY DO YOU THINK I WOULD BE CONSIDERING THIS DRASTIC OF AN OPTION?!
If I could lose the 10, why not go on to 20? Then 30? Then 40?
Anyway, feeling a bit discouraged as the Diabetic Dietitian's diet is leaving me tired and sick all the time right now but nothing to show for it besides slightly better A1C. They all promise "oh, if you stick to it, you WILL lose." Not as yet.
Tape Worms anyone? No diets! No... Baths? Huh?

wow... gross!
I've thought about the whole lap-band thing... I don't have the $25k or so for it though or I'd consider it MORE... but yeah... gastric.. not so much.
plus yeah.. lose ten pounds... and I think it comes down to being able to change your mind about food and all of that... not just chopping your stomach in half.
I knew a girl who had Gastric Bypass. My reason for saying steer clear is that there was a whole legal mixup that has ended with years and years of litigation. It's hard to trust that sort of thing and when it's your health that's in question (rather than say, your car?) then I'd say "no thank you."
