Has anyone's family been negative about them getting this surgery? My mom and my brother who are skinny, think I should just exercise more and eat better. I just hate hearing these comments. Luckily I have a supportive husband and some friends who are supportive. It is just so frustrating!:huh2:

Hi I am getting ready to meet with the surgeon on May 1st to discuss and pick the date to get my surgery done. I am almost 30 next month married not even a year and have 2 children. A 11 year old daughter and a 3 1/2 yr. old son. I am not sure on what surgery I want to have done yet. I am still contiplating that. My friend just had the band put on at the end of Feb. and thinks that would be a better choice, but told me to check this board out. So that's my story. I hope to get a lot of info and know exactly what I want.:confused2: Lisa Oh my surgeon is Dr. O'Malley Rochester NY and insurance is covering it.

I didn't realize there were any other band but one. I am not sure what band they use in NY, It seems like we use the one that sounds like the realize band but I am not sure. I am going to talk more about it with my surgeon.

I am meeting with my surgeon on May 1st. I haven't decided on the band or the bypass yet. I have done everything to get the surgery my insurance is covering it. I know he will probably want to do it in May, I am just not sure which one to do. I have been trying to look up as much as I can. I know people who have had both. Any suggestions or input?:confused2:

I go to the surgeon May 1st. At that point we will discuss the date. But I am thinking it will be in May.

Hey nice to meet you, I am in upstate NY. I have been browsing and it seems pretty interesting.
