Dont know which surgery to decide for- HELP - LAP BAND PATIENTS

Yesterday I went to the WLS Seminar which is mandatory with my surgeon Dr. Nestor De La Cruz-Muños. Although I am scheduled RNY surgery on 01/29/07 after attending the seminar I am more incline to the Lap Band. IF ANYONE HAS HAD THE LAP BAND PLEASE CONTACT ME AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ARE DOING?

Judith, Hugh here, go to the top of the page and click on forums and open up Lap Band. That is where you will read everything about that surgery. Either way you go we will be praying for a sucessful operation. Hugh

Judith- Have you looked at ALL of your options? There is more to WLS than RNY and lap band there is also the vertical sleeve gastrectomy, and the duodenal switch. Red

Yes I have, actually the seminar they cover all types of wls surgeries but I after seing it all I was more incline to the Lap band. I have actually changed all my paper work to the lap band and I am having it on the 29th.

Good luck. I hope your surgery is successful and that you have an easy recovery. Red

No I had the DS. I have lost 104 pounds since July! Red
