I am interested in having surgery and Dr. Ku suggested I have lap-band or Vertical sleeve. Anybody have this and regret doing either of these? Please let me know. Thanks....

I would do the lap band.  It is reversable and you are able to absorb nutrients.  The RNY prevents you from absorbing B-12 and down the line you may have to take shots.  Iron and Calcium are a big thing too.  I remember when I looked into the surgery  I was so engrossed in the weight loss part of it I didn't pay attention to this.  I now have to do a B-12 shot every other week, take pescription strength Iron and take Calcium and Vitmain D.   I would not reverse it but I wish I would have done the band because of the nutrients.  Some people have had complications with the RNY and it is not reversable.
