HELLO EVERYONE I AM TRYING TO DECIDE IF I SHOULD GO AHEAD WITH THE LAP BAND OR SWITCH TO THE GASTRIC BYPASS.:thumbdown::confused3: IS THERE ANY ONE OUT THERE OR DOES ANYBODY KNOW OF ANY ONE THAT WAS EXTREMELY OVERWEIGHT LIKE 360 AND ABOVE WHO HAD THE LAP BAND PROCEDURE DONE AND REACHED THEIR IDEAL WEIGHT? THE DOCTORS KEEP TELLING ME THAT MOST PEOPLE ONLY LOOSE ABOUT 60% OF THEIR BODY WEIGHT. :redface: IWOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM SOME ONE WHO HAS BEAT THE ODDS.

Hi! I was snooping around the blogs and found your post. i went to a gastroenterologist today for some other issues and asked what he thought of the lapband. he told me that i should go for a bypass! this caught me offguard. he said that with the lapband someone like me (almost 50 and about 90 pounds overweight) would only lose about 20-30 pounds with a lapband but with bypass i'd lose more. I have been on this site and know that there are many, many success stories here, but still, it took me for a loop.
