In response to the questions about bypass.
I know of four people who have had it. Two have colon cancer and one has an
incision site that will not heal. The fourth has gained all of her weight
back in just under one year.
I would love to have bypass because it would be so much easier to loose
weight, but I don't like the odds. I'm sure that drs will give you
different odds, but I tend to trust my own empirical evidence.
I'm going to stick with Weight Watchers and see if it will make a
difference.
