Hi! My sisters have both had RNY and I've had the lap band. Their doc recommended this when my sister needed a jumpstart getting back on the right path.
I'm going to do it with her. The doc said that it would help our metabolism. I don't see how it could hurt. I think the only deviation for the band is that we should wait an hour after eating to drink where a RNY patient can drink in 30 minutes. Good luck!
