I chose lapband with plication over bypass because I wanted to lose weight and keep it off with out the great risks associated with bypass. I'm also only 21, so reversible was very important. I wanted to be back at work and on my feet very quickly as well.

Jdn9119 I had the same reasons... Reversible was SO important and also pregnancy... I want more children I needed to know that I could get the necessary calories and nutrients with pregnancy... So those were my reasons (and it's less invasive)

You should look into band with plication- I'm having that and it's similar to the sleeve but reversible

Meeting with my surgeon on July 9th to go over all my test results. I too feel as if I am at a pre qualification appt every other day! But I'm ok with it, I know going in to this that my body can endure the surgery. I am excited and nervous like everyone else here, but I am not second guessing this decision any more.

It is time, time for a change, time to regain my health. Aug 5 th can't come soon enough!
