I am very confused as to which procedure would be best for me

I am really scared about making the wrong decision as to which procedure to have. I would love someone to give me there feelings about the procedure they've had ...pro's & con's. I'd like to hear from anyone who has had the lap band surgery & someone who has had the by pass surgery. People have told me w/the lap band surgery the weight takes longer to come off & you don't loose nearly as much weight as you do with the by pass. Both of those things are OK with me. I am concerned about a foreign object being in my body the rest of my life & wonder if after I loose the weight I can have it removed. I know the by pass is non reversible so once you have it that's it. Also if someone can tell me what foods they've had & gotten sick from after surgery & things like that. I'm just so scared but I've made up my mind I'M DOING ONE OR THE OTHER. Thanks for any info you provide . maryet
