Hello
I am not suitable for a bypass, and wonder if anyone has a band and a chocolate addiction and how do you get on? Still trying to reach a decision about what to do at the moment.
I don't have a band but I do have a chocolate addiction!
My friend is having a band and once she has it done if she eats stuff she shouldn't she will be very ill!
I was recommended the bypass over the band as was told that things like biscuits, cake and choccie would 'just slip through'. The fact that the bypass causes the 'dumping syndrome' should act as a deterrent. Dumping is when you eat something fatty or sugary and the body almost immediately dumps it via mouth or bum.

I am having a band in 10 days.... you WILL still be able to eat chocolate with the BAND, it is the BYPASS that stops you from eating chocolate, you suffer from 'dumping syndrome' that is waht makes you feel ill. It would be easy to eat chocolate with a band as the chocolate melts and will easily slip through the band's restriction.
