LAP-BAND Patients

  1. I also have my first dr. appt. on 9/12. I am not sure what surgery is best for me. My intention is to have the LapBand. I am afraid to get the bypass. I have several family members in the medical field and they have all told me to do the LapBand. It seems that patients w/ByPass have chronic stomach pain. Have you heard anything different or been given some advise from family?
  2. I am currently scheduled for Consultation for the LapBand. This seems to be the most difficult decision I have had to consider. I would be most curious to get some further insight on Post Op Patients about how they are dealing with the physical and emotional change of life. Very concerned...:help:
