have questions

hi my name is candice and i want to have the lap band done but people i know said they dont recommand it they rather had the gastric bypass so what do the people who has the lap band think and also im 25 5'7" and weigh 315 at night im laying in bed with alot of leg pain do anybody else have leg pain while laying down can someone please respond thank you

I chose the lapband because I felt safer knowing that it could be removed if something happened. The bypass is not reversible. I hear that gb patients have a better chance of regaining the weight. Whatever you choose, it will be worth it. You'll feel like a million bucks with each pound that you loose. Best of luck.

I'm 5'8 and weighed 320 at my heaviest. I can relate. Yes, I had leg pain, hip pain, headaches at night, etc. I choise the lapband because I felt it was less risky than GB but I think everyone had to do research and determine what their main eating problems are and how best to fix that. Do your research, talk with your docs and Good Luck on whatever choice you make!
