Did you think about Lap-band first?

You go girl!

Hehe! You go Deborah! That was too funny! I have been and continue to pray about this! Next week I'm going to the seminar and am excited to no end!! I have been to a WLS seminar before but it was in Spartanburg with Dr. Ross. He was very nice, but something always kept me from doing it. hugs, Teresa

Yes, I did ...and I had it put in on April 5 ...so far, so good. I have always been a "volume eater" not a grazer ...after many, many years of changing my eating to conform to "healthy eating" I still couldn't lose the weight because I ate too much of the "good stuff." I was seriously afraid of having parts of my body cut off and reattached and wanted a "less drastic" alternative. Because I've worked so hard for so long without success to lose weight, the slower loss rate does not bother me. As all have said, it's a personal choice, just be sure your doc has had considerable experience with both surgeries and that he/she explains the options. T.
