I am in the exact same boat as you. I just had my consult and I was set on the band, but after talking to 2 different surgeons they told me I would be so better off doing bypass rather than band. So let me know how it goes for you.

ok I'm getting lost in the lingo, what is pb'd and what is a DH?

I want to thank all of you for your comments and perspective. I have yet to be banded, I have lost my 10%, had my bloodwork, gone to the seminar, I have my dietician this week and my appt. with the psychologist the foloowing week. I am one of those people that if you are prepared this won't be as bad. I am thank you for those of you who poured your hearts out it really helps those of us that are just starting our journeys to have a better understanding of what we have to come. Thank you all, Amy:w00t:
