Looking for input on types of surgeries

I have my first consultation with my surgeon tomorrow (I'm soooo very nervous), and I need some information. I know the surgeon will tell ME what kind of procedure I should have based on his far greater knowledge and experience than mine <vbg>, however, I would like some input from the patients perspective. The Adj. Lap Band looks like a fairly new preceedure, and it seems to me to be much easier on the body, less invasive, non-permanent (if for some strange reason it needed to be removed) and just a better option in general than the "traditional" stapling and re-routing of intenstines. Am I understanding this procedure correctly? Do any of you have any input on this subject? Any and all information would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks
