New to alll of this and Hard to decide

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie to this and I am having a hard time to decide if I will be doing the lap band or the rny. I am also scared but I am sure that is no surprise to anyone that has gone thru this. My consultation date is Jan24th. I have my psych eval and letter from my pcp so this is my last step I think before my surgery.

I am 5'6" weight 275 BMI 43.3

Have been overweight since my last child 34 years ago. I had never had a weight problem before that. But the pounds have piled on thru the years and I have tried all the diets, fads, and so on.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone that can give me some insight.
