Help!!! I thought my mind was made up....

I thought I had it all planned out that I was going to have open RNY. I'm, for the most part, done with pre-op testing, but I have to have a nuclear test done of my heart to make sure it is up to the surgery because of a condition I was born with. Here is my dilemna.... I am now hearing more and more about the lap band procedure, and I know there is much less involved with that than the open RNY. My problem is, we are now short-handed at work and I don't have a lot of leave time saved up. I may have a total of 2 weeks. I honestly believe that would be pushing it for me. I am wondering if maybe the lap band procedure might be the way for me to go. I would love to hear from any and all of you that have chosen the band. I would like to know what testing was involved (since I've done about all of it), how the procedure was, what your experience was all the way around, and if you are satisfied with your choice. Thank you all so much. I know I will get a log of feedback from you all. You guys are such a wealth of information and I truly appreciate each and every one of you. God bless you all.
