Hello Everyone Im new to this site.. Im 30yrs old, I live in NY I have been thinking of getting band.. I was considering the gastic but I hear is to dangerous. So I took that idea out of my head and decided on the band I have try a lot of diets and pills to loss weight but nothing has really help.. I even try the Alli they are good but you have to be in the bathroom all the time is hard when u work with children.. Specially in the train going home is not a good thing :thumbup:.. So Im on this site to read your stories and see if this would be the best thing for me I have read a lot of forum in this site and I have to say

Congratulations to all of you guys that have come such a long way to loss weight... :thumbup:

Please if you guys have any suggestions or questions please feel free to let me know...

Good morning and welcome :thumbup:

For me lap band surgery was the best option, I started at 226 lbs and my surgeon didn't feel that gastric bypass would be the ideal surgery for me.

Now, I do have an Aunt and her daughter who have both had Gastric Bypass and it was the best surgery for them.

I think it really comes down to what you qualify for and what you feel most comfortable with.

Good luck on your journey, ask lots of questions as I am always learning new things from the wonderful people on this forum :thumbup:

Actuall I when to a doctor for gastic and he said I can but I kind of got scared when he told me the process so Im decided to look into the band
