I have a date 5 Nov and want to change from Lap band to Lap RNY!

My surgery is schedule for the 5th of November. Just a week away! I am in a panic as I am thinking I am choosing the wrong surgery! I am not so sure that the Lap band will be the answer for me. I want to change to the LAP RNY. When I initially talked to Dr. Roslin,he said I could change to the LAP RNY during our first consultation. I was pre certified today for the LAP Band. I hope it is not too late. It is 12:47am and I am planning on calling the doctor first thing in the morning. Has anyone else felt this way before surgery?

Dont EVEN get Lap-Band. It has the lowest sucess rate and theres no malapsorption component, so right when they take it off, you'll gain ALL your weight back and be right back here searching for a new answer. Seriously, lap-band is NOT the way to. Atleast get RNY or somthing!!! If you picked lap-band because its not permanent,thats one of the reasons why its so unseccesful!!!! I seriously URGE you to PLEASE get something else other then lap-band!!! I mean, ultimatly its your decision ofcourse, but i really think its the wrong one!!!!! ~Amy pre-op DS 11-5-04 age-18 weight-320 hight-5'6 1/2 BMI-51 p.s.=Oh ya!
