Hi my name is Sue and I am scheduled for surgery OCtober 22nd and I cannot wait....I just joined a local gym and am trying to build a routine.........I have been battling with a decision on either lap band or GBP and I really think I am going with the lapband.....particularly because I am already anemic and don't want to anticipate any unforseen problems......did anyone here also consider the GBP and got the lapband instead? if so, what made you decide lapband over GBP?? I kinda cant't get past the fast weightloss with the GBP, although I know the lapband is a much "healthier" approach......but sometimes I cannot get past wanting to see quicker results.......did anyone else feel this way???

Personally I did not even consider gastric bypass...but i do know it is the best choice for some people. There is also the gastric sleeve which is worth researching as well. But I personally love my lapband, it was the right choice for me. I have had it almost 14 months and down 106 lbs.

good luck in your decision!
