My mom got lapband surgery

On the 15th of this month, my mother got the lap band surgery. For those of you unfamiliar with the lap band, it is a weight loss surgery sort of similar to gastric bypass surgery. It's not quite as drastic as the gastric bypass surgery though.


What they do is put a sort of inflatable donut-like thing around the stomach, which creates a pouch at the top of the stomach, which is used as your stomach instead of the whole thing. Now, you can make the donut tighter or looser by injecting saline into a line connected to her side. It's all very odd, but we hope this will give her the control to loose some weight.
