Need WLS statistics, please!
After much consideration, I have decided that DS is the best WLS option for me. I will be paying for this surgery myself, and want to get the best long term bang for my buck. Here is the problem, my parents are loaning me the cash, and want me to have Lap-Band surgery.
I have several friends who have had WLS, and the DS seems to be the way to go. Could someone please help me with statstics on the different WLS?
Thanks in advance,
Kristen

Follow the links in my sig to comparisons of the four major surgeries. It tells about the % of weight loss with each.

And you might look up revision rates too... and what does everyone revise too???? The DS...

If money is the issue, and you are willing to travel to get surgery with one of the best DS surgeons in the US for an amazing price VERY SOON (within the next 2 months or so) then I suggest you send an email to [email protected] with your contact information and confirmation that you meet the NIH guidelines for WLS. This is a very special, short term offer, for reasons I can explain briefly if you send me a PM. Others here can vouch for me, and I can vouch for the surgeon.
And under NO CIR****TANCES should you have a lapband!!
