Had consultation, now confused
on 2/13/07 9:00 am
Just got back from my group consultation at Barix. I went in pretty sure about the lap band. Though Dr. Brader did not try to talk anyone out of their decision, he stressed the fact that the makers of the lap band have a full fledged marketing department and that all their comparisons between bypass and the lap band really compares the lap band to open bypass not lap bypass. He then compared facts about lap bypass to the lap band and their similarities regarding recovery, complication rate etc. Now I'm more confused than ever. Who else had a hard time deciding which way to go? Sonny

Sonny, Not to ‘make it more difficult,’ But- Don’t be "Sold" on any of the procedures. There’s also DS if it’s available for you. All of the procedures work differently and for different reasons. Finding the one that best suits YOUR needs is the "Right One." Yes? They all offer a second chance – "Do Over" to get back to a Healthy Weight. They can all be "Out Eaten" if a person doesn’t use the chance to Re-Establish A new Lifestyle…. Keep thinking it through…and asking for more info… In the end, go for what you think will work for you best. Best Wishes- Dx
