One more thought is to go on both of the lapband and the RNY forums on this site and ask/read....I am sure there is lots on insight there.
Topic: RE: Dr Helbling
I am 47 yrs old, I want to loose 125 lbs, my IBW says I needed to loose 134 lbs. I chose lapband because I have seen the success of several friends of mine and I felt it to be the least invasive surgery. I do think the RNY would show quicker results and I am all about quick gratification (obviously!). Did I make the right decision? I am not sure to this day, but I do know I am feeling great and losing weight, so I am happy. I do wi**** was faster! But this is the path I've taken and I am sticking to it. Have you talked to Dr. Helbling about it? I am sure he'd offer his opinion which is best for you!
Topic: RE: Dr Helbling
Why did you chose lapband over rny and how much did you have to lose initailly. Any are you over 45 years old or under 45yrs old.
I am sorry I am asking so many questions but I want this to be the right decision because after this there are no more avenues to explore.

I had my surgery in Dec. The surgery was not bad. I had 2 wks off work and definitely needed it. I had the normal "gas" pains that go with any laproscopic surg, 4 incisions that were small and healed well. Bending over and getting up and down from a chair were rough for the first 3-4 days. I slept sitting up through that. I also had a hiatal hernia repair and if nothing else it was worth it, I have not had heartburn since Dec! WONDERFUL!
I've had fills every month, except last month I went 6 wks. I am still fairly new to this. I've lost right around 50 lbs. I think I am going to cancel my appt next wk and wait longer. This is the first time that I've actually exerienced "stuck". I try really hard to follow the "rules", I feel full but I feel that the weight loss has been slow, but the PA that works for Dr. Helbling tells me I am right on track. She is super nice!

Fargo's not my turf, so I'll leave the decision making for you ladies. I already told Lori the same thing in PM. She has a meeting that ends at 10:30, so 11:00 will work out perfectly for her as well. Yea!
