Yeah that's my big issue with the bypass, too much cutting and changing. I'm a little uneasy about getting the band, but can get passed that. So are there any support groups (for lap band) that meet in Columbus (and that welcome pre-banders)? I'm still curious about eating with a band and would love to talk to folks that have had it done!

Great job so far Juli!! I've love it if I could do that good once banded. :clap2:

I'm in Delaware county, just north of Columbus. Yeah it seems like Dr Myers has done mostly bypass surgery, but is doing both now. That is one reason I liked him. He did not push either method. I've been to other seminars where they try to sell you on one. Dr Myers just layed out out the facts of the two and let it up to the individual to decide.

I was at the same seminar! I filled out the stuff and waiting for them to call. Hoping Insurance will pick some of it up, if not I think I'll still go with Dr. Myers.. Did the seminar make you consider bypass at all?

Yup I met Dr. Myers. Seemed like a new guy, was happy to answer my questions. I'm 90% sure on the Lap-band, since he does both I'm still playing with the idea of by-pass but think the band is really a better option for me. Good luck with the diet and surgery, you'll have to let me know how is goes!

I'm hoping to get banded at Riverside, how soon are you getting yours done? How long is the wait to get banded? I asked but have not gotten a clear answer.

Not banded yet, but looking to get it done at Riverside. Fingers crossed this year!!
