I hope you have made a decision by now.  Which ever one you choose should be OK as long as it is done properly and you follow the diet.  You can read my posts about my nightmare with the lap band, but that does not mean the lap band doesn't work.  My problems have been identified by one of the best bariatric surgeons in this country as "surgical error".  The documentation goes on to state that "he has substantiated beyond any doubt that the problems began at the time of the placement of the band . . . the band was not properly placed".  That doesn't mean that the lap band doesn't work, it only means I had an inexperienced surgeon (Kevin Wasco).  There is also a person who I know  who had the GSV done by Kevin Wasco earlier thsi year.  This was a revision of her lap band and he told her she was an "excellent Candidate for the VSG".  She proceeded with that surgery and ended up with internal bleeding.  She said she was so sick she thought she was going to die, and is first feeling somewhat better now.  How odd we both had the same surgeon and had long term complications?  I don't think which type of surgery you choose is as important as the surgeon and/or facility you are going to use.  Had I done my homework, I would be far better off today.  I hope all goes well for you.    

WTG!!!!  I am about the same out as you. May 6th was my RNY. How are you doing on eating and hair loss and all. ? I am haveing horrible times right now. My hair is falling out fast, my food choices are bad, my dr.s nurse is not alot of help and I can't find a local suporrt group or a local phsyic that deals with WLS stuff.

Do you have any issues or are things going good?

Thank you so much for the information.  I am going to call and check on it tomorrow!  I have been so lost in finding doctors- I cant say enough how much I appreciate this!  Thanks!
