michelle88 0 Posted November 6, 2007 I attended a info seminar in Sacramento last night... and I had a few questions. The surgeon said the lap band is a better choice for those who ate large volumes of food vs someone who grazes and has a sweet tooth. Has anyone else heard this? At the same time she said the band is good for someone who does well at WW but just needs an extra help. I am torn I was leaning toward the band ..but now I am not sure..I would like to hear some other opinions...Thank you.. Michelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonya66 13 Posted November 6, 2007 My surgeon said the same thing, I am a major sweet eater, so I too was worried. I'm 9 months out, 78 lbs gone forever and I still can eat a cookie, I just don't eat the entire bag. My cousin had RNY on 11/9 o6, I have lost just as much as her. So I don't buy into the fact that if you like your sweets your better to go with RNY. I'm very happy with my decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arin 0 Posted November 6, 2007 I recently attended a seminar as well, where they discussed both RNY and the band. It was just a few hours north of you, in Redding. I went in thinking its the band all the way, and I left more confused about which to choose than ever. I am still waiting for the first round of consults, so I have not made a final decision yet. It is very hard. Good luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
