Hi, I am new to this and I'm looking for feedback. I am on the fence about which surgery I want to have lapband

or bypass? help!!

Hi:

Even though I was well over 300 pounds the bypass seemed too risky for me. Get informed and then you'll feel more comfortable with your decisions.

Best wishes to you in your weight loss journey.

What sold me to getting lap band was that LB is more long term and gastric bypass was all of a sudden, but about 6 or 7 years from now, you will gain some back...

If you get Gastric Bypass, you could stretch your stomach out, and end up consuming more and LB just requires fills! :thumbup:

Good luck on your decision making!!!

my organs relocated...

Thank you for your thoughts. I have read alot about

the surgery and have attended support meetings.

I have pretty much made up my mind to do the

lapband. Probably looking for surgery to take

place in March
