Hi, I'm new to this board. I am investigating having WLS and trying to figure out which is best for me. I like the idea of the band because of the lower risks associated with malabsorption, etc. I have quite a bit to lose, say 200 lbs, but even if I lose 1/2 of that, I will be able to be much more active. Thanks for being here. This is such a huge decision. :cool:

Hello - I'm biased :cool: , but I like the idea of the band for the same reasons as you. Nice to meet you, Bob

Hi jcny,

welcome, Iam new to this board to and find it very helpful I like the ideal of the band for most of the reasons you stated and have a surgery date for Nov.18 and would like to lose about 125lbs Angelina

Hi JCNY,

I am biased too, but so far I love the band. I haven't been sick at all. I was able to go back to my life right away. In fact no one even knew I had surgery! I can't say enough good stuff about the band.

Good Luck!
