I am thinking about the lap band but my doctor is advising bypass as I lose weight very slowly. I have tried many diets like wieght watchers and still couldn't lose. Have had thyroid checked and all that. I really don't know what to do. I have about 90 lbs to lose total, not young, and I am at a loss as to what surgery to do. Has anyone else had problems before the band not losing and lost after? Appreciate your comments. :smile2:
