Lap Band -vs- RNY

Went to a seminar and then my first consult Monday. My heart was sat on the lapband no if's and's or but's about it. But, after talking to the doctor she brought up a lot of issues and encouraged me to strongly think about RNY. But, said she felt I could be successful at either surgery. Now, I'm so confused, I'm beginning to wonder if I even want any surgery. My surgical weight loss would only be expected to be around 60-70 lbs. Why can't I do this on my own? So many questions-is this typical?
