I don't have a date for my surgery. I'm researching into lap band. My husband had gastric bypass in December last year and he's doing very well with it. I don't know if I want to go that route though, the idea of them cutting my stomach makes me nervous. The lap band sounds as though it is easier to recover from for the surgery part of it.

I have some questions.... what is sliming, PB, what is this "stuck" feeling that I'm reading about?

Why did you go with lap band versus gastric bypass?

i cant answer the PB'ing question yet since i'm only 5 days post-op, sorry. But I choose the lap band because it was lest drastic. I dont like all the side effects and things that come with the bypass. Plus i wanted to loose weight at a more natural pace and not drop weight so quickly which to me is unhealthy and shockes your body. Just my two cents!
