scream and holler and ask for the manager!!!! Or better yet, insist you want to talk to the doctor, it is his reputation at stake!

WOW isn't horrible that we all have that ashamed feeling-like we are failures.

Hi all. I am a 53 year old female who meets the typical profile. Thought I was fat my whole life, multiple attempts at various diets, exercise programs, etc. only to lose and gain more back. I am now >100 lbs overweight and feel like I am going to die if I don't do something. I am going to my first information session on 2/22 and really leaning towards lap band. My question is how did you decide which surgery was right for you? lap band? gastric bypass? sleeve gastredtomy? Thanks for your insight!

Thank you all for your encouraging and informative replies! I will keep you all updated. Wednesday = information session.

Thank you! That is kind of how I have been thinking, but then I read these posts about getting stuck and sliming and it really scares me!
