Lapband is the safest option, but depending on your BMI you may not qualify. Most surgeons want your BMI below 50. Lapband is reversible where bypass isn't. With bypass they cut out part of your stomach plus change your plumbing. With bypass you will lose the weight faster, you can only eat so much. For me I chose lapband, I felt it was the safest option. Hope this helps.

thank ya

definitely go to a bariatric seminar, they discuss gastric bypass, gastric sleeve and lapband. they talk about the disadvantages and advantages and compare the results between the three. after a couple years of research and alot of thought, i have chosen to get the lap band. To me there alot more risks and disadvantages with the gastric bypass and I just felt the better choice was the lap-band. But that is my personal opinion for myself.

Go to www.lapband.com you can locate and register for a seminar in your area. However, I would advise calling after you register and verify the seminar date,time and location, my first try I went to the seminar I registered for and there was no seminar that night--was some kind of mixup.

Good luck!!

thank u , so did your doctor want you to go to a seminar??
