Attended seminar...consult next week!
I went to the weight loss surgery educational seminar at Norton today. Dr. Rodriguez was the presenter and I was surprised that he indicated a recent study found that the lap band was as effective as gastric bypass when they checked patients 5 years after they had had surgery. I'm not sure that I buy that, but maybe that one study did show those results. I'd like to know how many people were in the study and if other variables were taken into consideration (e.g. exercise, following nutritional guidelines, etc.). I'd also like to know if any other studies have been done with different results. I still feel confident that the RNY is the right surgery for me.
Anyway, next week I have my initial consultation with Dr. Geller. I am so excited to take the next step in this journey and am hoping to have my RNY done in early July.

Congrats on your upcoming appointment!
That study is one they have been using for a long while now. In my opinion finding the right surgery for yourself is key to success regardless of studies and stats. With any surgery there are pros and cons as well all know.
Keep researching up until the day of surgery....you wont regret it!
