Hi all I have had all my appointments and will be seeing the dr for follow up on all my test results next wk thursday. After that I see the surgeon and schedule my surgery. I am now confused, but I do want the band, but been thinking about gastric a lot lateley I even had a dream about it last night. I really don't want gastric becuase of the higher risks and the re routing of my insides. The physcologist and dietician both mad me a lilttle upset when I saw them they both had there comments saying that I should have the gastric and that the surgeon is going to tell me the same thing and blah blah blah. So now I am just confused and scared now that what if the band doesn't work for me. How did you all know it would work for you if you loved food so much? Another thing with te gastric I have too many friends that has had it and are now gaining there weight back and that's another thing I don't like about gastric as well. I mean was it easy with the band to eat better and diet please someone help me I feel like tearing up a lilttle cause im tired of being fat and I wanna have success. Please give me some advice what should I do?

It's rarely boring around here, that's true... :wink:

And now, both I AND the orginal poster are confused.

But highly entertained.

:wink:

misty there are 2 important "take home" messages:

1. Do your research before you decide which WLS, if any, is right for you, because all have their pros and cons and

2. Never ever agree to a "secret" cabo weekend with Headhunter, unless you want to end up in a hot tub in Tucson with Richard Simmons and a monkey (VERY important lesson here)

1) I think that's an important point right there. There are some who, while they desire WLS, aren't really ready to make the changes that are required to make it work.

2) Eeeek:yikes:
