  2. I am in the beginning stages of having the bypass done as well. Like you, I went to the seminar thinking the lapband was going to be the route I went. The surgeon who did the seminar said that they don't even like doing the lapband any more because of all the long term problems that have resulted. My insurance won't cover the sleeve through the hospital I want to go through, so I am looking at the bypass. I've been reading and reading and reading everything I can find on the internet and am scared, but I know this is going to be the right decision for me. Good luck in your journey!
