    Lap band - don't do it!! Scarred for life

    Hair loss doesn't discriminate. :thumbup: It's due to rapid weight loss and could happen w/o surgery (happened to my aunt).

    Why did you choose RNY?

    What I suggest (which is what I did) is to do lots of research on the net. If you ask here, most will say the band is the way to go. If you go on a RNY forum, they will say it's the way to go. The ultimate decision is yours and your doctor's. Good luck!

    Olive Garden NOT accomadating!!

    Oh, that sucks! I was lucky b/c when I was in Vegas we went to a buffet. I was so lucky to get the child's price of $9.99 b/c the adult price was $21.99! Sorry they didn't accommodate you.

    Lap band - don't do it!! Scarred for life

    I didn't have the band (was going to, but changed my mind to RNY) but felt compelled to write on this thread. First off, I'd like to say sorry that you had so much trouble. I couldn't imagine living like that for three years, with or w/o surgery. I'd also like to say that even though you had that experience doesn't mean that's how everyone's will be. When I was researching Lasik eye surgery I found a forum that scared the CRAP out of me. They tried to talk me out of it telling me how bad it was. I decided to get it regardless. I'm almost 3 years out and doing excellent. Unfortunately not everything works on everyone. With that being said, you are entitled to your opinion and your story. It's always good to hear the good and the bad. I hate hearing how people gain weight after RNY, but I always read the negative posts. I want to know what I may deal with in the future and decide now how I may remedy that. So, good luck to you!

    Why did you choose RNY?

    I know how you feel with being confused! I was considered a "lightweight" too. My BMI was barely 40 when I got mine done. My ultimate decision was based on what my doc thought would work for me. I trusted his decision in the end and so happy with what I ultimately went with. Good luck with whatever you decide!

    Selling a book on LBT~allowed???

    Thanks, Nancy. I figured if I don't have any takers here, I'll try ebay! :biggrin2:
  13. When I was considering the band, I purchased this soft-cover book. It was very informative. It is called: Weight Loss Surgery with the Adjustable Gastric Band-Everything you need to know before and after surgery to lose weight successfully by Robert W. Sewell, MD, FACS, and Linda Rohrbough. It looks brand new, as there are no rips, tears, bends, etc. I paid $16.95 at Borders and figured I'd offer it here before putting it on eBay. The price is $10.00 (shipping + delivery confirmation included). This price is cheaper than eBay and Amazon. :thumbup: I take Paypal only. If you'd like references, you can check out my eBay id: puppytreasures, as I have 238 positive feedbacks. Below is the actual picture of the book. If you are interested, please PM me. You can never have too many informational WLS books! :sad: Thanks for looking!

    OH! No! LOL I was wondering why you thought I'd pay hundreds of dollars to sell one $16.95 book! :thumbup: Thanks for the okay. I didn't want to post without asking. :sad: PS. I wish I'd written a book!
