Oh, thank you all! Just needed a little encouragment. I do think the number one reason I'm really hesitant about the RNY is my children. Statistically, there is just a higher chance of morbid complications from the bypass vs. the Lap Band. And, I also think that, in a way, the band helps to "shrink" your stomach back to a more normal size (after having streched it from years of over-eating)--this, in a way, does seem "natural." I'm really excited about this journey. I have my EGD ??? (where they look at your esophagus (sp?) to see if you have ulcers, malformations, etc. What would cause one to not "pass" the EGD? Thanks to all who replied. Dana

Not banded yet, but plan to be soon in Clarksville, TN by Dr. Steeley.
