Unfortnately shes scared to get it she thinks it will stuck in her stomach or something. I really hope she changes her mind though. she needs the surgery.

I had the gastic bypass surgery 27 years ago and at the time I weighed 317. My girlfriend had hers done last year and she was over 350. Has she even gone to see a bypass dr about Lap Band surgery. She needs to have a professional opinion fro them. She would feel so much better if she would have it done. I know it has changed my life

Good Luck and Take Care
