Hello everyone!
I had joined this site because I was in the process of getting the lapband....
Well today I had my 'official' consult with the surgeon and he really believes that the Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass is my best option due to my weight.
I had mixed emotions about it but now that I have reviewed everything and talked with my family I do agree with what he had to say.
So my question is----why have you changed from the band to the Gastric Bypass?
I also want to point out how glad I am that there is a forum on here for us who started out as 'bandsters' because I have made some friends on these forums already and did not want to leave :-)
