I chose the lapband because I felt safer knowing that it could be removed if something happened. The bypass is not reversible. I hear that gb patients have a better chance of regaining the weight. Whatever you choose, it will be worth it. You'll feel like a million bucks with each pound that you loose. Best of luck.

I'm 5'8 and weighed 320 at my heaviest. I can relate. Yes, I had leg pain, hip pain, headaches at night, etc. I choise the lapband because I felt it was less risky than GB but I think everyone had to do research and determine what their main eating problems are and how best to fix that. Do your research, talk with your docs and Good Luck on whatever choice you make!
