    Lol, I was thinking roux en y or duodenal switch. I think my insurance only covers roux en y or lap band though.

    My only advice is to do your research and know exactly what to expect and you will do great. If anyone ever tells you that having weight loss surgery is "the easy way out" you can smack them ;)
