I think most everyone on this site cane say they researched and researched. I second guessed myself 100x when I decided to get the lap band, I know what your thinking(I think most of us had the same thought---am I doing the right procedeure, I would definatley lose the weight with RNY, but I could have more problems with malabsortion and more.
My insurance would not cover this so that was even more added stress on me, if I spend all this money, for the lap will it truely work, will I regret it not getting the RNY
Well I was banded Nov.21, 2005 I have lost 52lbs, I have avg. 2.5 lbs per week, some weeks I will not lose any and the next week I will lose 2 to 4lbs, I went for 2 weeks not losing any weight AT ALL, but I lost inches. My advice to you is to weight and measure.
You are the only one that can make the decsion which surgery to have, But I can tell you I have not regeted getting the lap band at all I have went down from 24w to 18 and even some 14/16 yipeeeeeeee!!!!!
I am not one to exercise, but now that I have been losing the weight I want to exercise now I want to go for a walk, I even want to go swimming, which my 13 year daughter old has begged my to do for 5 years.
TO ALL GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SURGERY WHICH EVER ONE YOU CHOOSE
VOtt
