I have had the lap-band for 5 years i was 285 went down to 150 then went back up to 210 and i have been at 210 for a year. I want to get the gastric bypass because it is not working for me. I do excerise i walk everywhere i live in South korea and don't drive so i have to walk everywhere i don't have a choice. I went to the doc and he said i can get it reveresd but they don't do that here now i have to wait 2 months (when my hubby and i get back to the states YAY!)and see a new doc and try to get him to give my the gastric bypass. the only thing is i don't know what is the best i thought the lab-band was good because it sounded good and less scaring. so does anyone have a idea on which one i should pursue? ope to sugestions.
