I just found this site today. Think it will become a very useful tool. I'm in the researching phase of WLS. I'm going to be contacting the weight loss center tomorrow and going to go from there. :)
Be sure to research ALL FOUR forms of WLS---LapBand, VSG/Sleeve, RNY/gastric bypass, and DS/duodenal switch. I've listed them in increasing order of effectiveness, generally.
