After going to my surgeon's office on 3/10/08 I am really undecided. When I went in to the appointment I just knew that I wanted a lapband without a doubt. But after meeting several of the office staff at my surgeon's office that have had gastric bypass instead of the band and seeing how wonderful they look and how they make the gastric bypass sound I am starting to change my mind.

Please help me make up my mind remind me of the pro's and cons of each one maybe I've missed a pro or a con that will help me make up my mind.

i see you made up your mind already but....at least this is reversable if you need to be able to eat for some reason AND less likley to have masses of extra skin it might take a little longer but in the long run thats better for you

btw when's your date?

Thanks Scarlettbegonia I think I am going to go for the band for the simple facts of less complications, and reversibility of the operation

Safety was a huge factor for me in deciding between the two procedures. I like the fact that most Lapbands can be done as an out-patient. However, whatever you choose just make sure that it's what works best for you.

I wish you success either way you go!
