I have known two Gastric Bypass Patients and one lap-bander and at the first of next month, my insurance will cover the surgery. I'm really struggling with which surgery is going to be the best for me. I want to be happy with the surgical procedure that I choose. Any thoughts out there that somebody might want to share. I am just torn.

I have the lapband and it is the best thing that i have ever done. But it is not as fast as a weight loss as the bypass. It takes time. But i hear that u have a better chance of having less sagging skin with the lapband.

I share an office with someone that has had bypass. She lost a lot of weight fast, but 3 1/2 years later she has already started to put the weight back on and has to diet like before the surgery. I bet if she had the option to get the lap band she would. In 3 1/2 years if I need an adjustment I can get one. I am happy with the choice I made.
