Had consultation, now confused

Hey Pan, That is exactly what I am hoping but I imagine every doc is different. Thanks, Chris

I was really thinking lap band, for all the reasons that it is touted for.  My descision  became a lot easier when I found out that, although I was approved for RNY in six weeks, my insurance had just began to authorize the lap band procedure. What that meant was that, although approved, the local docs were still in negotiation with the insurance co. on how much they would be paid for the procedure.  I would have had to get on a waiting list, and then had the procedure done by inexperienced docs (with lap band docs on hand training them).  No thanks! In hindsight, from the good results that I have experienced, I am very happy that I did not go with the lap band. Just my experience, your mileage may vary!

Sonny, I too am in my preliminary stages.  My doctor has his own idea
