Surgery Date

Well, it all got approved and I'm scheduled on Monday, February 2. I have really struggled with the decision of what surgery to get - reading everything I can get my hands on and cruising this forum as well as OH. I have gone round and round, finally deciding on the lap band for the usual reasons . . . I am a little worried about five or more years out but will cross that bridge when I come to it. My DH doesn't really understand why I can't just excercise and watch what I eat. We have been together about four years so he missed all the ups and downs, he just arrived for the (hopefully) last up!!! After me talking about the details of the other available procedures during my research, he is absolutely on board with the band!!!
