Weight minimum to have DS
I too am just starting the process of considering WLS and seem to want the DS for your same reasons - once and done. I also have a BMI of just over 35 after much dieting and working out minimally 4/5x per week. I plan on paying for it myself by going to Mexico. Though I'm a bit nervous about both the surgery and Mexico.
Adjustable Gastric Band on 07/07/11
I too am in a similar situation. I had the band in for 11 years and could never get the adjustment right and then started having problems with the port. I've had it removed and now am looking into the DS, hoping to hear from insurance soon! Let us know how you are doing and if you decide to seriously pursue it! Take care : )
