Swedish VS Lap-band VS Mid-band

Hi all,

I'm losing my mind in deciding between those 3 bands. I'm scheduled to have the Mid-band in one month, but I don't know any person who got it. All what I'm relying on is lousy data from some forums around the web, which I don't know if its true or not.

I personally know few people who got the Swedish band, and are happy with it.

So I don'ttttttttttttt knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Hellllllllllllllllllllllllppppppp

Hello, I have the midband.

I was banded november 8, 2005 and still NO FILL.

AND STILL dont need a fill.

Banded 08-11-2005 286

now 242 waaw. i love my mid-band

So go for it!!!

I think your decision may be influenced where you live. If you live in the states, know it may be difficult to find aftercare as the mid-band is not FDA approved here.

Oh boy,,, you really comforted me. Today I talked to my doctor and got some of the questions that were really bothering me answerd. So your input came to complete my comfort.

I will do it with Dr. Frering in Lyon France, But who was your doctor?
