Hi-I went to see my surgeon for the first time a few weeks ago and was prepared to go with the Band. I am approximately 100lbs. overweight. My surgeon recommended that I choose the Bypass due to PCOS and the insulin resistance. She stated that I would only loose 20-50 lbs. with the band vs. 75-100% of my weight with the bypass due to insulin resistance. Has anyone else been told this, or has had either surgery and can report on their progress.....Thanks!:biggrin:
