Ok convince me, realize band is better than RNY...
I am happy I ran across this topic and the wonderul responses. I have my final appointment next month. I was more leaning towards Realize because I realize the benefits (pun intended). Then I was thinking of the fast weight loss with the bypass. I too know of a few people who did the bypass and they had the saggy skin and dumping. It seems as though the folks that chose the band have a more natural weight loss, sans the saggy skin. I have dieted MANY times before and have lost 70+lbs at a time; so I know I can make the healthy eating choices. Reading this board (and searching the net reading things and my HUGE pros and cons list) I think the band is for me. I am a psuedo vegetarian, I do eat fish. I am a very picky eater (yeah, believe it or not) and I know that nutrients would be my biggest issue. It seems as though the bypass is a slow malnutrition thus not allowing you to retain the needed nutrients.
This website & board is so wonderful. In my initial appointment the nurse practitioner was so astonished at all that I already knew about the procedures. I can honestly say that it was due to the helfpul people on this website. Look how you can out in droves to help this young lady. Kudos to you guys!
