Hello everyone

Hi I am new to this message board, I am looking for surport and Help, I have been researching both the lap and the rny and Just wondering what you all think about it? THanks

Hi Sandy! Just thought I'd say hi back atcha and welcome! I'm still pre-op (scheduled for 7/25, but I'm still wrestling with insurance so we'll see). I chose RNY in consultation with my surgeon, who believes RNY to be the best procedure for most. I really felt that the RNY was the better procedure for me in the long run, but everyone's decision is a very personal one. There are a lot of very strong opinions on these boards both ways - lap v rny (and even more when you add DS to the mix). I strongly recommend that you do your own research and make up your own mind what is the best procedure for you. There is a separate board for the lap band folks as well as for DS and you can get a lot of information on those boards. Good luck to you! San
