Torn again!

I agree with everyone above. It is YOUR decision, I know you don't want to hear that.

My girlfriend had RnY and she had major complication. I was in line to have it too (that ws 7 years ago). After her complications I put it off and waited until last year in Dec of 07 I had the lap band.

The mian reason I picked Lapband over RnY, is that it's reversible, and adjustable. If I get sick or have complications it can come out or unfilled until I am over that obstical. It was cheaper and there are less complications IMHO.

I have only lost 46 lbs in 7 months but I like the slow loss, nobody knows I had the lapband, because it is coming off slowly, and healthy. I am not explaining my self to anyone, or having to lie. I just tell themI am cutting back; which I am.

Good Luck in whatever you choose. Don't let anyone persuade you into something you are unsure of. Give it some thought, if you pray pray on it and keep us posted on what you choose, we will support you either way you go.

She did go over the side effects of bypass, but she smothed it over saying she has never had any mortalities and only 3 major issues (I think due to ulcers) in all her patients.

My mind is back to the Lap Band. :biggrin:
