RNY VS. Banding.. 4 Days to Decide

I have been through all the steps including consult with surgeon, dietician and psychologist. My meeting with the Dr. went great - he said we would do a lap RNY because my insurance company (Security Health Plan) still considers banding in the experimental stages. I received approval from the insurance company - and they now will cover either procedure! So, on Thursday, I meet with the Dr. again and I have to decide which procedure I want. He will do either, and I can expect to have surgery the last week of January or 1st week of February. That is coming up very quickly. Can someone please let me know their experiences with this? Thank you!
