My personal opinion is if you have 100 lbs or more to lose, then go with RNY. I had lap band first and then revised to RNY. Many troubles with the band. Of course common sense tells you that if the lap band does not work out, you can always revise to RNY. However, in my experience the weight comes off much more slowly and stalls with revision. If I could do it all over again, I would have started with RNY. Hope that helps your husband make a decision.
