So Happy to tell Everyone I choose the Lap-Band and my surgery is coming up!!

Thank you for your response. I wish you the best of luck in your weight loss.

Thank you.   I am just happy when I don't feel like crap from all the damage the band caused.

All Best.  I started out at the same BMI.

Congrats on your decision and I can see you have done your research. Hope all goes well with your surgery and you have a speedy recovery. You have  a  great doctor whom I am sure has informed you of all pro's and Cons. Your doctor trained the surgeons I worked with and the one who placed my band. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Thank you!! Its pretty cool to know someone whose had her surgeon work with mine before. My friends all love him and I love him already...He literally answered every question I threw at him and I never felt pressured or rushed. (unlike other doctors I have seen). I will most defiantly keep you posted!!

If you need any help or have questions please feel free to ask.

Good Luck and get ready for the rest of  your healthy life   

I think you have spoken here very passionately, eloquently and respectfully.   

The Band is the harder road to choose but I think it made me work harder, eat healthier and workout more.  I think it made me a healthier person. I started out weighing over 350 lbs and I now weigh 175 lbs.  sure I am still working on losing weight 4 years later...but I am completely off all my meds and I can run a 5K!!!  So I am satisfied.  I am just trying to lose the last 15 lbs out of pure vanity..because I will have a normal BMI.  Who knows I might decide to lose another 10 lbs. 

As far as complications go...I have never had any issues.  In fact I can eat whatever I want when I want.  Which is almost a curse!!!  I am filled to 9.8ccs and had my last fill was back in 8-2011.  I go in once a year now just to make sure everything is OK in there.  That's it and so far so good.   ]

I just thought I would throw in a good story....

Good luck to you. 

I hope you know what you are doing.  Good luck.
