Hello everyone. My name is Marilyn. I am seeing the specialists and having the tests done right now, and I hope to be approved to have the surgery in April. I am having a difficult time deciding whether to have lap band or gastric bypass. My initial thought was lap band. I met with the required psychologist yesterday, and he said because of my diabetes I should have the gastric bypass. I am so confused. I made another appointment to speak with my surgeon. I know she leans toward gastric bypass but I want to discuss the pros and cons of both.
