Hi Kristie, I have abdominal adhesions and was not a canidate for the
bypass, being if I had a bowel obstruction they would not be able to tube
me. I am at high risk for an obstruction due to the adhesions. So, I had the
lap band done in Oct. 2007. I have no problems due to the adhesions. I have
had a lot of set backs due to a very large hernia repair in which they had
to remove adhesions again. My bowels were stuck to my abdominal wall again.
I am not losing like I want to BUT, my diabetes is gone, my blood pressure
is on the low side now, I have lost 100 pounds and feel so much better. Do
your research on the lap band. Ask questions to the dr etc. Good luck and if
I can answer any thing for you just ask. Lisa
