Good luck to your family Razz.
For me, I don't think gastric bypass is a good idea, even if I would be considered a good candidate for it.
Being forced not to eat and learning not to have an adversarial relationship with food are two different things.
I can almost understand how Type II diabetics might benefit because of the more rigid control of food intake and increased frequency of eating, but really don't get how that might apply to Type I.
We used to talk about the procedure with one of the docs at work. He said there were problems with the procedure of folks who had it just up and dying a couple of years post surgery.
Too freaking scary for me.
I'm the kind of person that tries to put off necessary surgery ... I won't be standing in line for anything elective.
