  1. I am wondering why people have chosen Lapband over other bariatric surgeries? I was set on Lapband but find myself considering gastric bypass. What influenced your choice?

    why did you choose lapband?

    Mis73 I hadn't looked at it that way. It is true that you hear more negative than positive with any procedure. I am leaning more towards Lapband based on it being less evasive. YouTube has a quite a few videos of both surgeries. I've been considering Lapband the past two years. I think less invasive will be best considering I had a laproscopic procedure before and recovered fairly easy. I am a good rule follower when it comes to surgery. Thanks again!

    why did you choose lapband?

    Thanks everyone! Im not a fan of the whole rerouting element either. I do want something permanent and have been hearing that Lapbands need to be replaced 2-3 years out for various reasons. My surgeon does both surgeries so I want to choose what's best for me without his influence.
  4. Hi all! I have an appointment with Dr. Monash next Tuesday. I am wondering if anyone here has had surgery with him or any other surgeon in Tucson. I am ready to get this process started and want to pick the best surgeon available.
  5. Does Monash do his surgeries in a hospital or at his center?
  6. Thank you! My insurance preselected Monash and I hadn't heard anything about him. I'm glad you are having a better experience.
