Seminars
Went to our local surgery seminar last night with my daughter. I was very disappointed to see that they are really pushing the gastric bypass and discouraging the lap band even more than when I went to it before my surgery. It was so negative I think that even I would have been tempted to get the bypass if I didn't know better. I know the bypass brings in a lot more money to the hospital but really. Anyway, had to get that thought out before it blew my brain up!

When I went to the seminar they were very negative about the band. The following week there were about 10 of us who were meeting with several of the surgeons. Originally 8 of us wanted the band...by the end of the day it was just me and one other woman who had stuck to our decision.
