 Unfortunately the DS is not an option for me, as the surgeons in my area and in my insurance do not perform it, and I can't travel far or pay out of pocket. Thank you though for all the links and information you provided, I know they will help me tremendously as I set out to make this decision.

 Thanks so much Judi, the hardest part about the whole thing so far is being away from the baby and now not being able to lift him or really cuddle with him. He can't understand why, all of a sudden, I don't want to snuggle with him and he is really acting out and breaking my heart with how sad he is. I keep promising to make it up to him, but he had no idea what I am saying and just knows he wants me RIGHT NOW. The big kids have been a HUGE help though, they have really steped up to help with the baby and to help Richard around the house.

poor little guy - that has to tear at your heart strings! Hope you can at least lay down with him and cuddle up a little.

I'm so sorry you are going through this! Though to be honest, I *wish* mine would slip a bit so insurance would cover its removal. I hate it so much. You may want to check out the failed lap band group for what other former bandsters experiences have been.

Thanks so much, I am headed over there now to check it out, hopefully hearing some personal experiences will help me in my decision making.
