I am getting the band 12/28.  Health wise I am unable to get any malabsorption surgeries due to chemo and my insurance won't pay for the sleeve.  I feel good about my choice.  I love over 40 pounds on my own in 2.5 months just lowering my prednisone.  Any surgery requires a lifestyle change but lap band will be a little harder mentally, but WE CAN DO IT!!!!

You'll lose quite a bit of weight.  There are some negative people out there.  I just read a ton of them on a post, but to each their own.  If you feel it is the right thing for you then that's what is the best surgery. 

Good luck and we can work on it together.  Hi to all the kind non-banders!!!! You're refreshing knowing we're all here for the same reason---to lose weight and end our addiction to food.
