Congrats to you. Whatever you decide to do keep your health in mind, and why we are embarking on this journey. It is definately not the end of the world. There will be other days and another place and time to kick back. Good Luck with your surgery.

Maybe I have been researching and investigating so much that it has confused me. I want to do my homework before I get to my first appointment with the team. I want to be able to get as much information from them as possible. I meet with the paychologist on Monday and completed around 800-900 questions eval, no lie. It was not what I expected to tell the truth. I will meet with him in two weeks to discuss the eval results. My appt with the team is on August 28. I need your support or comments in regards to the lap band vs sleeve. I know the doctor's have the final say. But what are the things/reasons why you choose the lap band vs any other procedure? I just want to make the right decision. I want to be healthy and happy. Regret is not an option for me. Thanks in advance.

YOU ARE GUY'S ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! 100% I mean it. I couldn't have asked for more. Did I say, thank you all. This was something that no one I know could help me with. So much love and support here. (Tears) Guy you are so freaking funny. LOL

I really thank you guys for coming to my resue. I am definitely feeling better about the LB now. It is definitely safer and safety first. Sharpie thanks for chimming in on this post and for pointing out an valid reason why this is so true. I did ask this question in the seminar and the doctor made it seem like it not a big deal to get around. I am sorry you guys had to go through this. You have helped me seal the deal thanks to all every comment made a huge difference. I thank you all. Be well...

Thanks Terry and Melissa43, I do like the LB procedure but unsure about having the port. Does it blend in or is it obvious. I here there can be several issues with the port as well as multiple visits for LB.

Hello Everybody! I am new to this forum, I am cruising around trying to gather information about which procedure is best for me. I must admit there are a ton of other question as well. I decided to have surgery to loose the weight, due to other health issues I'm experiencing. I am so glad that I found this website, I am sure that I will have useful information, a better understanding of these procedures, and questions for the surgeon when I schedule my first appt. I so look forward to interacting with you guys and offering up my opinion and advice as well as receiving your valuable input to my question and issues. Just wanted to pop in and say hey...

Hi Angemc, It must be pretty tough right now but know that it will be well worth it once you start seeing the results of all your hard work and dedication coming through. God Bless.

Congrats and Good luck

I hope that your job backoff of you and give you a break. Just pray about it and it will be fine. Stay encouraged because at the end of the day you are all that matters.

You have a great sense of humor and a positive attitude. I can't wait to see your results.

Congratulations on your banding gumbo1971; I know you are probably so happy right now. Are you very tired after the surgery, it seem very scarey to me. But people seem so happy afterwards and say that they did not regret it one bit. I pray that that will be my experience to. Good luck and take care of yourself.
