Help! I can't decide which would be more beneficial to me. Dieting doesn't work so I thought of lap band and researched it all. Now I'm thinking that roux en y might be better. What are your opinions?

Read the band to bypass forum....there are a bunch of us that had horrible problems with the band and are doing great with bypass....talk to your doc and do your research before you chose! Good luck

My surgeon straight up told me that if you have 100+ pounds to lose he doesn't recommend the band as average weight loss is only about 50 pounds. Since I've been in this process I have seen many on here that had terrible complications with the band since it's a foreign object in your body.

Do your research- it might be right for you but it definately wasn't the choice for me.

Thanks. I'll ask my surgeon as soon as I can.
