So, I finally decided on the LapBand. Started this 4 months ago, and have been taking my time. Even had a month there where I convinced myself not to have any surgery. Long story. Finally had my counsult at the surgeon's office last week. At that time I was still going back and forth between LB,and RNY. I think I was leaning toward the RNY for all the wrong reasons such as less maintenance, faster weighloss. I figured that I needed something that would make me change my habits from the beginning in order to be successful. Not saying that a RNY is easy, but from what I've heard from folks, and read, you have to follow the rules with a LapBand, or it won't work. Things are going pretty quickly now. As long as my EGD and labs come back okay, I should be having the surgery around the first of November.
