Hello! My name is Crystal and I have been approved for the surgery and will complete all the pre-op appts during the next 2 weeks or so. I am a little nervous about chosing the lap band over the by-pass...will it be as effective?? Did I choose the right one?? I am at a 36 bmi and was a candidate because of sleep apnea, high cholesterol, etc. The band was my initial choice b/c it is less invasive. I guess everyone second guesses big decisions! Anyway, if anyone has any tips or wants to be an on-line buddy as we go through this process, I am sure to need one!
