Is a gastric bypass the band or something else? Does it make you puke if you eat the wrong thing? I have a relative who's had a band put in and it seems all she does after picking at her meal is complain how unwell she feels, and/or goes off to the bathroom to puke.
Its not the same as banding its this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastric_bypass
I had the choice and had heard a lot of people had problems with the banding and its requires a lot more self discipline than the Bypass and to be honest if I had a lot of that I wouldn't have ended up that fat. I have had almost no problems a few minor issues the first 6 months but nothing today.
