Lapband vs. Gastric Bypass
That's a tough decision, but it's very personal and you have to look at many factors...your age, health problems, how much you want to lose, the risks, etc. For myself, the bypass is more inappropriate since I don't have a lot of health problems and I'm on the low end (37) of the BMI eligibility scale. If I had more to lose, however, I would at least consider the bypass.
Take the time to research them both, don't worry about the cost if you can, and maybe attend a few support groups. The group of doctors you have chosen is fabulous and will support the decision you make!
