Chris, For all of those reasons, it sounds like that’ll work for you. I was 47 years old, and at a BMI of 50.1. RNY worked for me. Coming up on 4 years this summer- Below goal weight for over 2 ½ years, and not a struggle at all. There’s a guy in my support group who had similar weight to loose And lost it with his band in approximately the same amount of time. He also has maintained a normal range BMI for over 2 years without difficulty. Lap-Bands, RNY, and DS, and VSG all work. All of them can be circumvented by some. If you use which ever “tool” you choose, To change and adjust your Old habits and lifestyle, Then you’re on the track to a healthy, thinner you. Best Wishes- Dx
