If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know I had gastric bypass surgery in 2001 and am now suffering the consequences (malnutrition, peripheral neuropathy, small bowel obstructions, etc.) Self Magazine has an article in this month’s issue on several people who have also had major complications. While many of the WLS cheerleaders are PISSED that this article is even out there (cause it’s a miracle cure, they’ll tell you), I wish I had known then what I know now. I probably would have still done something but perhaps it would have been the then-new Lap Band procedure instead of the intestinal-rerouting, malabsorptive gastric bypass procedure.
