My wife had RNY and I had Lap Band Surgery
I had my Lap Band surgery Thursday, March 10, 2005, and my insurance United Healthcare covered it. I had absolutely NO PAIN. I am now almost 3 weeks post op and have lost 32 lbs.
My wife had RNY in May 03 and has lost 157 lbs. She's a whole new woman. She had no complications. We are both very grateful to rid ourselves of obesity. Her profile is under Lori F in state of MO. Mine is under Rick Felzien in state of MO.
We've had both surgeries and whichever you chose, it is a GREAT choice, for a better quality of life.
