Thats great I was going to do lap band but My surgeon suggested that I not have because other surgeons dont like to take patients that had it done somewhere else and with being military spouse and moving recommended the gastric bypass.

That is good. It will give more options. Some people just don't want to do the bypass. A lot of people are very happy with their bands. Diana
