i met with the surgeon today and i was ready with all the reasons i wanted the lap band and not gastric bypass. i had a list ready because i was under the impression that must dr's push gastric. my primary doc does. but to my shock and amazement the surgeon said i was a perfect candidate because of my eating habit and was told to start thinking of a surgery date. imagine my amazement walking out no fight no argument just ok set up an appt truly everyone's journey is different.

Here's what I think is awesome: You've done research, you've thought it through, and you knew why you wanted to get a band instead of another type of surgery. Good on you!
