Guest jcny Posted October 26, 2003 Hi, I'm new to this board. I am investigating having WLS and trying to figure out which is best for me. I like the idea of the band because of the lower risks associated with malabsorption, etc. I have quite a bit to lose, say 200 lbs, but even if I lose 1/2 of that, I will be able to be much more active. Thanks for being here. This is such a huge decision. :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IAMOMX6 0 Posted October 26, 2003 Hi JCNY, I am biased too, but so far I love the band. I haven't been sick at all. I was able to go back to my life right away. In fact no one even knew I had surgery! I can't say enough good stuff about the band. Good Luck! Christina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
