just starting on my journey in deciding on the lap band or gastric bypass. i am trying to decide which one would have the least amount of side effects and which one would work the best for me in the long run. basically i am searching for more information and peoples personal experiances. this will be one of the biggest decisions of my life and i want it to be without any regrets so here i am. my doctor refered me to abbott hospital and i started the journey on november 17, 2006. that was when i went to the informational meeting with the nurse from abbott and dr. chute also came and spoke to us.since then i have met with the dietician twice, dr. chute once, did the psych evaluation and am waiting for those results. blue cross blue shield of mn. requires three drs. visits, a psych eval., and three diet. visits before oking any type of surgery.
