RNY or lap-band?

It looks like for a variety of reasons I will be having a lap-band procedure as opposed to an RNY.  I see that most everyone here on the Fibro board has had an RNY.  Anyone out there have a lapband?

Thanks everyone!

I have a band and to be very honest I don't like it at all. In a year and a half I've only lost about 40 lbs. It takes a great deal of hard work especially exercise to get any results with it, Not to mention the fills and unfills to get a good restriction. If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I'll gladly answer as best I can.

Have you looked in to have the DS if not look under surgery,  It has lessproblems than rny as far as dumping and has a 80 0/0 ss rate.
