11/24/02 I've been researching the different types of WLS---and can't seem to decide between the RNY and Lap Band. All I do know is that I NEED to do something. My HMO insurance won't cover this....and I'm really considering traveling to Mexico due to the cost differential---but, goosey about the what if's of having surgery in a foreign country. Am going to attend an information/support group meeting in Cleveland on Tuesday evening. Am taking hubby with----really wish he would consider doing this, too.
