My husband and I went down to Burlingame, CA yesterday (about 65 miles from our home in Santa Rosa, CA) and met with Dr. Li for his initial consult. My hubby has been going back and forth between rny and lapband for a couple of months. Dr. Li laid all of the info out on both operations. I was sure Andrew (my husband) was going to choose the rny, but after a day to think everything over, he just called to tell me he has chosen to go the lapband route. I am so pleased. He knew I would support him either way, but deep-down I really wanted him to get the band. We have a friend who got a band a couple of years ago and has done a fantastic job of both losing the weight and keeping if off. I know that if she can do it, my husband can do it.

Now, on to all of the insurance nightmare. I am crossing my fingers for a good outcome.

I wanted to thank the people who have posted here and on spotlight - You are a continued inspiration to us. Andrew cited your progress as part of his decision to get the band. Bravo to you all!
