Okay,

I was told today that my Cardiologist just faxed my report so that I can be cleared for surgery (finally). However,the wait has given me time to think and get nervous and look around. My question is, if you had to do it all over again, honestly, would you still choose lap banding or would you go for the gastric bypass?? Just wondering from a comment someone made from another post.:confused2:

i would do the lap band all over with out questions asked plus if there a problem for some odd reason you can have it removed the gastric you cant

I knew from the start that I wanted the least invasive surgery. I am almost three months out and have had no troubles. I follow every lab band rule. Eat slow, chew till almost liquid and never eat anything except what is allowed. There are risks with every surgery but, I believe, a much lower risk with the lap band.

My decision would still stand. Gastric bypass is normally used for extreme circumstances when compounding medical conditions are concerned. And it's still used now even though there is lap band because of sometimes a person has few months to lose the weight before their health, and even their life is at serious risk. I don't doubt my decision for a second, it is a lifestyle change, it is adjustable, and fully reversible, and does not cause malnutrition or a severe intrusion in your body.

What is the comment that was made?
