I am scheduled for my MD consult and doing as much research as I can beforehand. Can anyone tell me their reasons for choosing a band over bypass? I am reading about a lot of difficulties here with banding. If I have trouble syicking with a conventional diet, is a band the right thing for me? I really appreciate your comments and advice. I am 49, good health, 245 and 5' 5" w BMI of 41. I want to be thin again and loose 100 lbs. Thanks everyone!

Omg - I am going to put weights in my pockets too! How funny!
